Episode: 94 – [Review] Aurora Rising

In this episode of Paperback Friends, I review Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff.A squad of academy rejects, an ancient galactic threat, a girl lost in time, and enough banter to power a small moon.Aurora Rising is one of those books that constantly reminded me that I am probably not the target audience for this book. It full of overwritten banter, and enough dollar store humor to feel three episodes of Saved by the Bell. It isn't until the third act the novel get's its act together. It tones down the humor, and delivers by far the best act.We talk about the writing, the characters, why the middle of the novel nearly lost me entirely, and why some books can be perfectly fine while still not being for me.Type: Review | Book: Aurora Rising | Writers: Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
