Great thanks Aless!

I've started the book and read I think the first 3 chapters. I'm liking it so mucu but I'm always having trouble remembering everything about the world and characters at first!

No problem, Sci-fi can be hard to get a grip on at first!

I'm at part 2 now
It's getting really good! My favorite character so far is Scarlett, and I'm curious about Aurora

@Anni it's ok not to remember all the world setting from the beginning. Sometimes it's pretty dense and overwhelming but as the story goes it becomes more common.

I've finished part 1 yesterday. Earlier I've read Skyward by Brandon Sanderson and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is very similar to Aurora Rising. I also like the writing style when there are several PoVs.
(view spoiler)[So finally starting from part 2 the action develops a bit faster, there is more information about Aurora and I'm really looking forward to know more about her and all the thing that happened to her family. Still I don't have any favorite characters. (hide spoiler)]

OMG I read Skyward 2 weeks ago too and I loved it so much! that's why I was a bit hesitant about Aurora Rising at first cause for me, there's no way it will be just as good^^ but I agree, the atmosphere is similar! I'm starting part 2 today :)

I'm on chapter 30 now. I love the book, but Skyward was better.
(view spoiler)[Still have no clue what the hell is going on with Aurora and all the people from her past. I hope the final will be interesting and won't disappoint me. (hide spoiler)]

I can't read much these days cause I'm visiting a friend, but I'll catch up on the train ride home!
Hm I'm curious to see if the Aurora mystery will get solved in this book, hopefully so!

I've just finished reading. It was an interesting one and I want to read the next book in the series too, I think the main action is going to be there and the first book was a world setting.
(view spoiler)[I'm really happy that there was no fast ending like in some books (you know, like when you read the story, which is good and the ending is too fast and messy so that it spoils the whole story).
The mystery is still there, but some facts are revealed already. I want to know, what's going to happen with all those 'infected' people, will they die or be 'healed'? I feel that it's not that simple, they still have a part of their own personality somewhere deep inside. Hope they all gonna live. (hide spoiler)]

I'm at chapter 28. I'll keep you updated!

I just finished the book! I agree with you, it felt more like the introduction to something bigger and I'm excited for the sequel, but I still liked it a lot. I loved the found family trope and the mysteries!

I'm happy you loved it too. I also want to read the next book, but not too soon, because I have so much to read this month :(

Since I got the first book from the library and the libraries here closed today because of the current situation, idk when I'll get to the next book either. But I still have a ton of other books at home too!

I prefer reading on my kindle device, I keep only computer science and programming physical copies of books at home, which I use frequently. So I can buy the second book in the series any time :) But as I've already planned to read lots for March and April, I'm afraid I'm out of my free time limit :(

At least we don't have to wait a year for the sequel :p
