Rating: 5/5
I will not be shocked when this series climbs its way to my top read of 2026. Honestly, I am eating it up and read the second book in about 6 hours. Completely devoured it and left no crumbs behind. Rune is quickly slithering her way into my top 5 ALL TIME FMCs, and I love the vulnerability we experienced from her in book two as well, because I love a tough girl with a big heart. She's honestly fabulous, and I love that she's a bit scary lol
In year 2 of Apex Elite, we are dropped in where we left off, and our squad hits the ground running. Everyone becomes aware that humans have infiltrated the school, and I love that hints are dropped throughout, and each character voices their suspicions in their POV so we as the reader are not left in the dark by unreliable narrators. lol
Rune's relationships begin developing further and heating up substantially, and it was delicious. These books are fast-paced, fun, and never leave me bored. And even though there are a couple of moments that ached in my chest, most of the book is cozy and warm, allowing me to escape to a safe place <3 Thank you, Lyra, for giving us the world of Apex Elite Academy and providing a safe escape that we all could use. I feel your heart in each book and appreciate you sharing.
I absolutely recommend continuing the journey with Rune & her guys. It's fun and spicy!!! Can't wait for Year 3.
