Please read at your own discretion.Note from the author: This book can be read without reading book 1 in the series. You can also read the rest of the series in Laila's perspectives without this book. However, I reccomend reading them all because this is the chronological order to the series, and because there is a lot of overlap between Celena's story and Laila's. But, if you miss Laila dearly, book 3 is still a fine place to pick up.Reading Order:Eluding Destiny Book OneEluding Destiny Book Two: New Normal - Celena's Story Part 1Eluding Destiny Book Three: The Horrors that Created UsEluding Destiny Book Four: AftershocksEluding Destiny Book Five: ReprisalEluding Destiny Book Six: The Precipice less
