Score: Eight out of ten.
Okay. This one was outstanding. I can't believe it's over though. I wanted to read Aurora's End to finish the trilogy after enjoying the two previous instalments: Aurora Rising and Aurora Burning. After months of putting it off, I finally got my hands on Aurora's End, and when I closed the final page, I thought it was compelling.

With time travel being introduced at the end of the second book, I didn’t really have a choice here but to accept it.
And, I’ll admit, Kaufman and Kristoff did a really good job keeping the details and rules of the time jumps clear for the readers (mostly through Zila).
It did lead to me getting turned around quite a few times though.
That development made no sense to me.
With Fin’s help, she came to understand her incredible value to the squad, which she hadn’t seen before, and she opened her eyes enough to see Finian in front of her.
Finian - My favorite wiseass. Finaian kicked butt in this book and finally got Scarlett to see how amazing he is. What more can be said about Finian de Seel?

Excellent end to an excellent series:)
Bonus points for the slogans:
“It’s about time” and “The squad you love is out of time”
Do not despair, as I did, dear reader; I promise it’s a ride worth reading!

Jay Kristoff, one of the authors of Aurora's End, is very problematic. So, if you are interested in this book series buy them secondhand or get them at the library.

This series was very enjoyable to me and the final book did not disappoint. Of course not everything was amazing and there are some things I would change. Multiple times throughout the series, and especially this book, I felt like the characters were reduced to a few traits or people. I also didn't love the time travel route they went with. I overall liked this book, but it wasn't the best I've read.
