Aurora's End by Amie KaufmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Well, gentlefriends, it's been at least a year and a half since K&K delivered one of the most gnarly and notorious cliffhangers in YA history...so where do we go from here? Why, right into a time loop that has too much fun as it repeats itself repeats itself repeats itself (as Sam said in the second Transformers movie), and that's just for starters. Though the balance of the numerous POVs and storylines is truly an unwieldy affair in this third and final book of the cycle, Kaufman and Kristoff remind us all, in the end, that love is all we need if we're to win an interstellar war - and what better representatives of that theme than the squad we love, as out of time as they are? (Even if, yes, they're a bit too hormonal at times, but they're teenagers of various species, so it's to be expected, no?) For all this, and for giving Finian de Karran de Seel, my favorite Unpopular Popular Character bi boy in need of all the love this side of Stiles Stilinski or Eros, the spotlight in all the ways he deserves, I now happily bid this series ave atque vale.
