While I cannot say that I enjoyed this more than the Illuminae files, Aurora Rising definitely delivers with a fun plot that kept me guessing, interesting, nuanced and unique characters that I loved, and scratches the Scifi itch if you’ve got one. I could also recommend it for younger readers (teens who are interested in maybe dipping their toes in Scifi if they Haven’t ever before.
I look forward to reading Aurora Burning and Auroras End in the near future!!

A beautiful blend of comedy and suspense. An excellent read for young, teen and adult sci-fi fans.
This group of hero's made me laugh, cringe and cry.
Oh and Kal is hot as f!ck.

TBH, there are some predictable events in the story and usual tropes, but it feels new and fresh. The pace is so fast and the characters are killer.
Amazing read, definitely a win.
