Quick recap

Shoko and Kyoko are sisters born under a cursed star. Kyoko is already a Saintia, one of the warriors who guard Athena up close, and she offers herself in her sister's place when Eris, goddess of discord, looks for a body to return in. Shoko then trains to wear the Equuleus Cloth and rescue Kyoko. Alongside Saori and other Saintias, she takes on the Dryads, Eris's servants, and Ghost Saints back from the dead. Meanwhile, the story crosses paths with the Galaxian Wars and the growing tension at the Sanctuary. Eris finishes merging with Kyoko, and the five Saintias join forces for the final battle against the goddess. It's only ten episodes, and the ending feels rushed.
