3.75 out of 5 stars Excellent series, strong finish, but I still hate time loops. Goodreads.com: Aurora's End, by Amie Kaufmann and Jay Kristoff (The Aurora Cycle #3) I love The Aurora Cycle, and as a series, I'd give the whole thing 4.25 stars. It started out whiz-bang in Aurora Burning (4.5 stars), sunk it's … Continue reading Review: Aurora’s End
4 out of 5 stars Snark. In space. Sign me up. Goodreads.com: Aurora Burning, by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff (The Aurora Cycle #2) Following Aurora Rising (4.5 stars), I knew I wanted more. And wanted Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff to scathingly scribe my inner monologue for life. Alas, I can only have one … Continue reading Review: Aurora Burning
3.5 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: Undying, by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner (Unearthed #2) Teens on Earth! Well, the getting there isn't easy. When we left Jules and Mia at the end of Unearthed, they'd sealed themselves inside an alien spaceship with the intent of blowing it up before the governmental International Alliance can … Continue reading Review: Undying
4 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: Unearthed, by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner (Unearthed #1) Teens in space! I saw this book described as such, "... with Indiana Jones and Lara Croft." An appealing claim, but one that overestimates our heroes, Jules Addison and Mia Radcliffe. An homage, certainly, but our intergalactic adolescents are likable … Continue reading Review: Unearthed

Goodreads.com: Aurora Rising, by Aime Kaufman and Jay Kristoff (The Aurora Cycle #1) Space ace Tyler Jones, top of his class at Aurora Academy, is set to graduate … Continue reading Review: Aurora Rising
3 out of 5 stars The action and story go up in this series finale, but the heroine of Book 3 drags like an anchor. Goodreads.com: Their Fractured Light, by Aime Kaufman and Meagan Spooner (Starbound #3) The galaxy-spanning, dimension-crossing culmination of the Starbound series, Their Fractured Light brings the two main characters from each … Continue reading Review: Their Fractured Light
3.5 out of 5 stars A Book 2 with more grit and less googly-eyed staring = +.25 stars. Goodreads.com: This Shattered World, by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner (Starbound #2) I love series that spin-off internally, then allow the characters from multiple books to encounter each other. I don't mean dusting off Jace & Clary … Continue reading Review: This Shattered World
3.25 out of 5 stars Crashing space ships and intergalactic conspiracies? Don't mind if I do. Goodreads.com: These Broken Stars, by Amie Kaufman & Megan Spooner (Starbound #1) Lilac LaRue, deubtante of the galaxy and heiress to the fortune of her father's deep space tech company, is not the cossetted twit we expect. Well, she … Continue reading Review: These Broken Stars
Another year, another enormous amount of time not wasted on my commute because BOOKS! Thank heaven for them. I read 42 books in 2018 - and if that number isn't significant to you, get thee to a copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy right now. (Possibly my all-time favorite book.) This year I read … Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2018

Goodreads.com: Obsidio, by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff (The Illuminae Files #3) Obsidio is the impossibly fantastic culmination of … Continue reading Review: Obsidio
