What a way to wrap up this series. Loved the twists and turns! Loved the characters and all of their challenges. Loved being in El’s head. She’s such an awesome heroine and a unique character. I really didn’t
anticipate a happy ending for Orion, but I’m so glad there was one. I also cried during this multiple times. For Liu. During the grandmother reveal. And during Orion’s mawmouth extermination. I really thought he was a goner. Lol.
Anyways. Loved this series. Loved the themes. Just incredible.

[4.5 stars] really great story!! had me crying over el and orion as it should but i’m just going to pretend that orion and el are actively together all the time rather than a few months because i’m sorry i just have to. like it makes Sense but i choose not to see it
