First, the bad news: An ancient evil - you know, your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal - is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They've just got to take care of a few small distractions first. Like the clan of gremps who'd like to rearrange their favorite faces. And the cadre of illegit GIA agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who'll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri. Then there's Kal's long-lost sister, who's not exactly happy to see her baby brother and has a Syldrathi army at her back.

A thousand years ago evil came to the land and has ruled with an iron hand ever since. The sun shines fitfully under clouds of ash that float down endlessly from the constant eruption of volcanoes. A dark lord rules through the aristocratic families, and ordinary folk are condemned to lives in servitude, sold as goods, labouring in the ash fields. But now a troublemaker has arrived, and there is rumour of revolt.

Zafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man when she braves the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the sultan. If Zafira was exposed as a girl, all of her achievements would be rejected; if Nasir displayed his compassion, his father would punish him in the most brutal of ways. Both Zafira and Nasir are legends in the kingdom of Arawiya - but neither wants to be.

Audie Award, Multi-Voiced Performance, 2016. The year is 2575, and two rival mega-corporations are at war over a planet that's little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra - who are barely even talking to each other - are forced to fight their way onto one of the evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.

Galaxy 'Alex' Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale's freshman class. A dropout and the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved crime, Alex was hoping for a fresh start. But a free ride to one of the world's most prestigious universities was bound to come with a catch. Alex has been tasked with monitoring the mysterious activities of Yale's secret societies - well-known haunts of the rich and powerful. Now there's a dead girl on campus and Alex seems to be the only person who won't accept the neat answer the police and campus administration have come up with for her murder.

Description
From the New York Times and internationally best-selling authors of the Illuminae Files comes a new science fiction epic....
The year is 2380, and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Star pupil Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the academy would touch....
A cocky diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm
A sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates
A smart-ass tech whiz with the galaxy's biggest chip on his shoulder
An alien warrior with anger-management issues
A tomboy pilot who's totally not into him, in case you were wondering
And Ty's squad isn't even his biggest problem - that'd be Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley, the girl he's just rescued from interdimensional space.
Trapped in cryo-sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl out of time and out of her depth. But she could be the catalyst that starts a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler's squad of losers, discipline cases, and misfits might just be the last hope for the entire galaxy.
NOBODY PANIC.

Commentaires
"This intergalactic space opera has it all: action, thrills, suspense, laughs, and all the feels." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
"Rotating perspectives and never-flagging energy propel this narrative forward, which, if it wasn't compelling enough on its own, is given illustrious life by its ragtag, always-at-odds cast." (Booklist, starred review)

I definitely recommend listening to the audiobook rather than reading it physically, because the effects and the great cast makes this story come alive.

Excellent story, but a little overly emotive
Overall I enjoyed this book....though it did spend more time than I prefer exploring what individual characters were feeling at almost any particular moment. The narration was first person, jumping from character to character by the chapter. This was done extremely well and really helped me, as a reader, to connect with the characters. But the YA target audience was in full bloom with all the extra time devoted to what each character felt. By about 1/3 of the way into the book there came a place in most chapters where I wanted to yell, "Just get on with it!" because so much time/space was dedicated to exploring any given character's feelings at that moment.
Besides that, excellent writing and pacing. The characters came across as well thought out and I found myself caring about all of them by the end, which is the mark of a good writer in my book. Though this is the first book in the series, a large portion of the conflicts that are set up early on in the book are resolved (to a lesser or greater degree) by the end of the book. It definitely ends on a note which sets the stage for a continuation of the series, but there is clear resolution to the plot lines of this book.
The cast did an awesome job with the narration. Voices of characters were consistent, even from the perspectives of different characters, which meant a different narrator could be doing a certain character's voice at any time. The sound effects were, for the most part decent. Though there were a few surrounding the computer entries that hedged on being too shrill. It would behoove the sound engineers to remember that most people are listening to these recordings via headphones and thusly very high-pitched tones come across very harshly, especially when their volume is the same or louder than the narrators. It was annoying but it didn't really detract too much from the listening experience.
As for the worldview, there are religious tones, but the religion is ambiguously deistic, but not really concretely attached to a recognizable religion (like Christianity or Islam). There is a decent amount of relationship drama (she likes him, he may like her...blah, blah, blah), but no explicit sexual interactions. There is an allusion to a few of the main characters having had sex in the past (with each other), and the general approach to sexuality is "whatever goes". The narrative doesn't really preach or deal with sexual preferences overtly, but at least one character is presented as ambiguously bi-sexual. I don't think there's too much in there that would offend anyone, but it's always good for parents to be aware of how things are presented in the books they're reading. I did like that moral impact of killing someone was touched upon.
So, overall, fun book. I'll probably eventually snag the next in the series when I feel like I can handle the emotive excursions in the narrative. Because the premise and story were excellent and I'm pretty hooked as far as wanting to see what happens next to the characters.

For better or worse it was a fun ride.
So first off I liked it overall. The overall story was a bit generic but I enjoyed nonetheless. I had some issues though That really took me out of the story.
The characters suffer from same voice like maybe 2 characters had their own voice and one of them barely had any development and her perspective chapter's were litterally short af.
Does Tyler even have any character flaws? Like he's apparently perfect. Everytime he's mentioned we hear about how good he is how handsome how great of a leader how blond his hair is how he has perfect dimples hoe blue his eyes are. Like that annoyed me to no end. The ship could be in fire and they litterally would stop to mention his dimples.
It's so young adult at times it's unbearable. How the characters interact. How the romances play out. Etc like I get itd ya but cmon it's just tropy at times.
And the books defaults whiteness. Like white people are the norm and anything else human wise has to be explained. The author describes all the white human characters by hair and eye color. But the black woman of the group damn near everytime she's mentioned has to have a quick sentence about how dark her skin is or about her big gold hoop earrings. Like cmon now. Lots of authors do something like this. Once you start to notice it it's hard to stop.
I did like the eventual villains though. I'm optimistically looking foward to a sequel.

This was a great listen. There's a full cast plus sound effects, so it almost felt like listening to a movie. The plot was great and action packed with no dull moments. I was so invested in the story and characters and didn't want it to end!

More of a sci fi romance
I think the authors are very good. The actors are excellent. I just feel there was way more emotionsplaining than nessessary. I felt the plot is fantastic and has a lot of potential, but if the trip there is flat the majority of the way it won’t end well.

Well done story and characters! Bad performance :(
This book was very enjoyable! The plot and characters were very well developed. However, the performance was lacking. The voice for Aurora did not fit the character at all, and I actually questioned whether not I could listen to her the whole book. I was able to get through it hoping her voice would grow on me but it never did. The story itself is what kept me listening. Also, I wish Audible would stop using separate people for separate voices, I like one steady voice (personal opinion).

2/3 of greatness
Great open, great middle, but the urgency of the ending was ruined by seemingly endless streams of inner dialogue. I wanted to feel for the characters, at the end, but it was all inner dialogue.

Not what I expected not really interactive.
The story is interesting and moderately paced. Unfortunately the Narrators don’t interact like a traditional radio show. Instead each Narrator reads a chapter to include each character. I should have caught this in the sample, but I thought the story intriguing. Doubtful I will continue this series.

Amazing fun sci-fi!!
Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff have done it again!! All the stars to this brilliant book!
If you enjoyed The Illuminae Files, you are going to love the Aurora Cycle series. This was kind of a Firefly meets Six of Crows with Legolas from Lord of the Rings thrown in and it was phenomenal! As with the Illuminae Files, I became so dang attached to this group of misfits who are thrown together under the command of Mr. Perfect, Tyler.
Cat is the Mohawk haired, tatooed smart-ass pilot (the Ace). Scar is Tyler's beautiful smart-ass twin sister in charge of diplomacy (the Face). Zila, the odd quiet genius and medic (the Brain). Finian, the smart-ass alien Betraskan mechanic (the Gearhead), and Kal, the Legolas-looking elf-looking alien Syldrathi warrior (the Tank). Together, the six form Squad 312.
Enter Aurora, or Auri, who was rescued by Tyler from a dead colonist ship where she had been in a cryogenic tank for over 200 years. The squad ends up with Auri and from there, the craziness just keeps on keeping on. The pace, the twists, the turns, the action... Never. Stops!
This book could easily be one of my top favs of 2019, and how the heck am I going to be able to wait for book 2!?
Update after my reread by audiobook: This audiobook featuring an entire cast was AMAZING!! Every single character was spot on perfection for their character! The sound effects were so fun! This will be one of my go to audiobooks and I’m sure I’ll listen to it again and again!!

Loved it! The story was fast paced, the space crew of misfits was hilarious, and the voices in this full cast production were amazing! If you loved Illuminae Files or Guardians of the Galaxy, definitely give this new space series a listen!

Mein Lesetipp des Jahres 2019
Ich war absolut begeistert von dem Buch sowie der Interpretation durch die Vorleser.
Die Story dreht sich um 7 junge Erwachsene, jeder Spezialist in seinem Fachgebiet, mit sehr unterschiedlichen sozialen Fähigkeiten und Background, welche zusammen ein Squad der Aurora Acedamy bilden, einer intergalaktischen Friedensbewegung. Dies geschieht teils freiwillig aus Loyalität ihrem Squadleader Tyler gegenüber und teils unfreiwillig, da niemand anders sie in ihrem Team haben möchte. Auch scheint die Mission mit der die AL sie betraut alles andere als wichtig oder aufregend. Doch erstens kommt es anders und zweitens als man denkt. Es beginnt eine spannende Reise mit vielen liebevoll und vor allem aus allen Perspektiven des Teams geschilderte Reise durch unsere Milchstraße. Und so entwickelt sich aus diesen Haufen von Mistfits auf sehr sarkastische Art und Weise eine Gruppe von Freunden, welche sich aufmachen die Galaxie zu retten.
Im Fazit absolut lesens- und hörenswert.

Another epic sci-fi
I didn’t really know what to expect from this new sci-fi adventure by the brilliant Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff - just that I expected it to be as epic as The Illuminae Files. And it did not disappoint. An amazing start to a new series in which a group of misfits has to save the galaxy. The audiobook is absolutely brilliant.

Best balanced ensemble in a while!
I love me a good ensemble! And the story managed to avoid role cliché (most of the time), despite having a very classical ensemble/crew structure. There is one very clichéd aspect in the love story, but when everything else is good and original, one more familiar plotline helps to settle rather than being annoying.
There was no dull moment, I never got frustrated from getting anything too expected, the characters are wonderful, the representation/diversity is good, the plot is strong.
Okay, gonna go now, need to start the next book in the series. NOW

Beautiful interplay of Pace, Plot and Characters
Fast-paced, creative plot with good character work! I loved the different perspectives, which often 1st Person books lack, but since we've different POVs here it works beautifully. The world building is imaginative and I'm looking forward to the next book! I also loved that it was a little diverse!

Ganz gut
War mir ein wenig zuviel Gefühls Innenleben. Die wechselnden Sprecher haben mich teilweise eher abgelenkt. Manchmal ist weniger mehr.
Der Handlungsfaden war gut aber ein wenig zu konstruiert. Ja es ist science fiction aber die Rettung in letzter Sekunde war immer dieselbe...
