I am thoroughly devastated with that ending. Like actually cried. I will definitely be reading the last book and am already sad that it would be the last. I would definitely miss reading about Galadriel and Orion. I really loved their relationship in this book, I think it was a very good build up from the first book. Still don't get her Mum's warning about Orion, maybe it's just heartbreak or something like that. I really liked El's character growth, how she slowly became someone who was willing to save everyone. I am really happy that she could get everyone out of the gates.

of course not Orion but yes.

I really loved the friendship between Galadriel, Aadhya and Liu. I think it is very heartwarming to see that they are so close after seeing what they went through in the first book. Especially El and Aadhya. I think this book has a good mix of humour, teasing, all the happy stuff and all the death, basically all the deadly stuff. I think it was very heartening when everyone started to help each other out instead of only helping themselves, shows how there was still humanity in all of them despite what they have faced. HIGHLY recommend.

Very very slow to get to the action and I still found El to be unnecessarily rude and awkward but the ending was quite good.
