Sci-Fi Worth Reading!
A Tale of Two Colonies by Aurora Springer delivers a richly imagined world and an exciting adventure that’s perfect for sci-fi lovers who enjoy immersive settings and survival stories. Aurora Springer is a gifted author well worth finding. Her words flow like silk and weave a delicious, creative world I enjoyed getting lost in.
What I loved
The worldbuilding in this book is top-notch. The story starts on an overcrowded Earth, where people are desperate to escape. Lily, the main character, trains hard to secure a spot on a spaceship to a distant colony planet. The journey isn’t easy, and there’s no guarantee that the team will survive the mission—or that the original colonists will still be alive.
The alien planet they travel to is fascinating. I especially loved the discovery of the lost colony’s descendants, who have completely forgotten their Earth origins. The planet is teeming with strange creatures (including ant people!) and unexpected dangers. The exploration aspect was a highlight, and I really enjoyed how the world and its mysteries unfolded.

Fight for freedom. Fight to survive. For refugees from an overcrowded Earth, dreams of a better life on an alien planet transform into a terrifying battle for survival.
Nothing will stand in the way of Tiger Lily’s dream of escaping the subterranean slums of Terra and visiting the stars.
