5.0

This book was so fun because it was full of “training montages” and prepping for battle. I always find that kind of storyline really enjoyable because relationships and characterization tend to grow through these. El’s reluctant hero position and her truly good heart, despite feeling like a darkness, are revealed further through this book, and her relationship with Orion really heats up, which I enjoyed a lot! This book upped it to five stars for me!
