My feelings have been very hurt by Aurora Burning; I assume yours were too. Obviously, we knew what we were getting into, Jay and Amie are wonderful and terrible people. I channeled my obsession with this series into making giant crossword puzzles. Also, I assume this will be a good way to refresh my brain for book three as an Aurora Burning summary of some sort.
I have only used two colors in this puzzle because I still do not have access to a scanner, and my phone just does not handle color well. If you have any suggestions for future puzzles that can be done here!
The last puzzle was the Aurora Rising puzzle; the answers to this can be found here!
The next puzzle will be a The Gilded Wolves! I will have a link here once it is up! It included the answers to this puzzle.
