What??!! My heart is pounding from that ending. Oh my goodness, I’m excited to see what happens next.
Is the school destroyed because Gal didn’t say the last syllable? What’s Orion’s deal? What’s with Gal’s mom’s warning?? What’s to come of the world? I’m excited and hopeful but nervous because I want a happy ending for Gal and Orion but I fear their initial typecasts were reversed and somehow Orion will be the villain and I don’t want that.


Very enjoyable book and series. I’ve loved seeing Gal’s progress mentally, emotionally, and magically. I hope the series will continue to be all I want (fingers crossed!).
