Disclaimer first: This book is DENSE. There is a lot of info dumping and stream of consciousness. It is not a quick read at all so if you're not into that you will hate this book. But me? I LOVE THIS BOOK. I already enjoyed the first in this trilogy but after a few months I decided to pick this one up and continue it and I'm so glad I did. Personally I love a stream of consciousness writing style- I feel like it makes the characters more relatable and entertaining. El's thoughts- particularly about Orion- had me CRACKING UP the whole ride through this book and I can't even count how many times I said "SAME GIRL" to one of her unhinged, mildly aggressive thoughts about a boy 😂

The end of the book had me on the edge of my seat and I absolutely cannot wait to finish this series and see where it takes me.
