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!

The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars was because of some of the grammar choices, they threw me off but I loved it and can’t wait for the next!

This book was a wonderful follow up but at times it seemed to rush. Orion was not as big a part of the action and we spent a bit too much time in El’s head. But! We really got to know the other characters from the first book and their histories and motivations.
