I enjoyed it in the main but I felt some sections were a bit too protracted, whereas other areas were rushed through. Also I felt some of the characters lacked some depth. Though it ended with a lot of loose ends, and I enjoyed it enough to reach out and read the final book in thr trilogy.

I wish I could rate this a bit higher, especially considering the EPIC cliffhanger, but, I did feel like I mostly slogged through a big portion of it. We still have El, who is as snarky as ever, narrating the story for us, but I think because we covered a whole year in one book that we missed out on a lot of things that could have been detailed. El grows in character, there's friendship and just all around positivity, which sounds funny considering the circumstances, but maybe that's part of why I was like, ok...I suppose I'm like Orion in that respect. Speaking of Orion, he almost dropped off in this book, which made me sad because I think he's cute, but it's okay because I got my Orion doses restored towards the end. I can't wait for next year, which is when I hope the next book will be out! Lots to look forward to
