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.

I didn't expect this series to get that much better but it did! I loved the story in this one! All the friendships and working together because you choose to and not just because you need to hit me just right. The ending was amazing as well and I immidiately continued reading the 3rd book. I'm very excited for the conclusion of this Trilogy!

I like this book. It's a faster pace than the first book. We're back at Scholomance where El and her class are getting ready for graduation.  The school has been cleansed so there aren't a lot of creatures creeping around the school.  The seniors are preparing for the battle of their lives with momals on graduation day.
