Avvertenze: autore problematico.
Nonostante i miei problemi iniziali con lo stile di scrittura dell'opera, che soprattutto inizialmente pareva essere forzato verso l'ironia, quest'opera mi è piaciuta parecchio e si è rivelata una lettura molto scorrevole e veloce.
L'unico ulteriore problema è a mio parere il finale, visto che l'ho ritenuto un po' troppo affrettato rispetto a quanto consigliabile.

if you have a paperback version of this, it’s so floppy holy crap. it wrinkles the pages a little but it’s so satisfying to flop it back and forth.
there’s this one line that i keep coming back to. it’s beautifully written and i’m in love with it. i’ll keep it in a spoiler just in case you wanna experience it for the first time in the book, but it’s not a spoiler.
“do moons choose the planets they orbit? do planets choose their stars? who am i to deny gravity, aurora? when you shine brighter than any constellation in the sky?”

Absolutely loved this! A fast, fun read where a group of unlikely heroes band together to try to solve the mystery that is Aurora. All of the characters were distinct and easy to like. There was a bit more innuendo talk in a YA book than I was expecting. I also am glad that Scarlett, who I initially didn't care for since she was the smart but overly flirty one, got her kind side showcased. Lots of great character development with the other characters as well. I was truly shocked by where the plot was taken and can't wait to see what happens next.
