Imagine being that much in love with someone 🥲

All I knew, was the closer he got, the less air made it into my lungs on each breath

His thumb staked across my inner thigh, feather-light, lasting only a moment, but the reaction was pure chemical. His skin weaponised and I was the victim of his lethal touch

“There are countless people who would say I’m not allowed to want you,” Darius breathed. “But you make me want to burn the whole world down so that I can claim you for my own.”

Zodiac Academy 3 : The Reckoning

There were moments when I chuckled and smiled at this book but for the most part I dislike it. 

So even though the girls tried to gain back agency in this book, it still fell flat. Everything they did seemed hallow and surface level. Additionally, I cannot get behind the love interest in this book. Honestly, I still hate all the characters.

While this book I discovered the fatal flaw that, for me at least, is why I cannot root for it. It’s the everyone is in love with (wants to sleep with) the main character. Like they don’t have a single male in this book that doesn’t want to sleep with them. It’s a fatal flaw in television and in this book. Also the description of what they wear and how they look feels juvenile and reeks of early warped fanfic. If you told me this was originally a One Direction fanfic I wouldn’t be surprised. 

Lastly, the authors refuse to use American lingo even though the main characters are supposed to be from Chicago. I’m from Chicago, I’ve never called flip-flops, thongs, and told someone I was waiting in a queue when I’m in line for something. Might as well just say I’m walking on the pavement, eh. It’s ridiculous. Like making the characters from London wouldn’t have changed the story at all. If you refuse to use American slang then don’t make your characters American.

sometimes i feel like there is no plot but then it finds its way back to the story line but its still just enjoyable 

Lucy Williams

really fun read! the ending was good

How am I supposed to go from that ending and start the ruthless boys of zodiac academy?! I loved the trials aspect that was added to this book. And seeing more povs added a lot to the book but I’m dying for more. I’m actually afraid of who I will become or how sad I’ll be once this is over. Maybe the part of me that kept putting it off knew something I didn’t.

i can’t even think of a joke for this one i liked it sue me 

Kate

Again, this book is WAY too long for the actual plot (still actually waiting for the plot to make an appearance). This is the longest book in the series so far and it only spans A WEEK. Nothing makes sense here - the reckoning is a joke - as are the trials?? Like this is such a poorly plotted series it’s astounding to me it has the intense fan base it does. You definitely have to lean in with the characters, but some of them are so poorly fleshed out they can’t stand on their own…. Sigh.

Ok... I retreat everything what I said when I read the first volume. 

I love how the writing improved and the action get more captivating every page. I couldn't let this book out of my hands. It was like a dr.g for me, need more of it every second. It didn't happened in a while for a book to do this to me and now I understand all the hype around this book. 

I'm in love with the tension between Tory and Darius and I couldn't get enough of it and the way their relationship goes makes me giggle and scream and cry on their frustration. 

Also, I love how the authors start to improve their writing and make me feel like I'm captive on some of the situation, sometimes forgetting I'm on my own room .

I love that the story line is now heating up!! I love the actual plot and the main characters so much- the vega twins are everything you want in strong FMC’s and Darius & Orion are my absolute faves- Darius is number 1 though 

The ending!! I wish there was more detail in the last 15 pages of the shadow ritual because that was so intense! And I’m super excited to continue on with the story. It is slightly annoying that there was so much unnecessary information to the story in this book but this part was so short 

I do have to say though the use of normal ordinary brands/ foods etc but with the word fae or with fae twists to it does make me cringe. I also have a strange feeling about Diego that he’s hiding something 

I’m so gutted now the story is getting better and I’m going into reading the series that happens before zodiac academy

I really want Tory to just realize she’s obviously mates with Darius lol. I feel it has to come out somehow soon. But there’s 9 books lmao. 

Brianna Hickey 

-1 star for basically everything else lol

5 stars all for Caleb Altair!

-1 star for basically everything else lol

Okay this was by far my favorite book of the series!

I LOVED the scenes between Darcy and Orion and I would've loved the scenes with Darius and Tory as well but he kinda ruined it by not helping her at all in the very end. I was okay with Orion dropping the shield because I didn't want Xavier to die (although the reason why he HAD to pisses me off - I hate that stupid bond they both had no choice in creating) but the fact they both did NOTHING ELSE to try and help them is insane.

"I know you can survive." Thanks, brother💀 like WHAT THE FUCK, HELP THEM. They didn't even try lol

The twins would've literally died if not for their Order (what a slay btw) emerging. I said before that I can't ship Darcy and Orion as long as Darius will be his forced number one and he can't even choose otherwise than to defend him. And this just proved it true. Like they deserve people who at least try to save them and not just stand by and cry about it. Love Orion, but he was useless as well (but at least he was forced to be so, Darius chose it).

Before Lionel's part I LOVED the book tho

4.25 ⭐️ I feel like these books are building a big plot but I don't know what it is or if I'm right but it seems that these first three books were full of small plots that were actually just hints of something much bigger, does that make sense? Idk

I really like Orion and Darcy individually but I don't know if I love the romance between them yet, it's not a bad relationship but I feel like there's something missing there. Tory and Darius are the opposite (but I like Tory), I can't believe that I've already read 3 books and there hasn't been a single kiss, even though Darius is an asshole, I can't wait to see them together 😭

Caleb pissed me off in this book, I even liked him a little in the first two but in this one I rolled my eyes every time he appeared. Seth and Max I feel like I couldn't hate them both more even if I tried.

Anyway, I really liked this one and I loved finally knowing what their Order is. I knew in my bones that they weren't dragons but I had never imagined that either (after I found out it made A LOT of sense, I felt stupid for not having thought of it before tbh)

Note: when I got over the word “Faebook” the authors invented “Faerrari”, I swear I read it at 3am and laughed so loud that my neighbors probably heard it

big ab

wow. ok. it will never not make me laugh that they’re supposed to be from the “tough side of chicago” and yet they are obviously very british? and not just british but extremely posh brits with their lexicon? but regardless, i had a blast. the last 30 pages was shocking.

“I want you to the point of pain, Blue.”

oh my god, BlueLance in this book were everything? im still giggling at everything lance says. and him being jealous is the cutest ever.

aileeeeeeen

I have no words... but one thing, I hate Lionel so much. but we have gotten much crumbs of Darius and Tory as well Blue and Lance. 😆🥺

** spoiler alert **
           I found myself loving and hating this book. So many YES scenes and so many UGH scenes. Like don’t get me wrong I love me some dual POV but every single chapter left me on a cliffhanger by the time i got used to the character. 

I don’t think I can hate Diego and Seth more. Genuinely. Diego irks me to no end with his improper use of spanish just to try and sway the twins to like him- JUST TO CALL THEM WHORES? No and then how he treated the Sophia and Tyler situation? Uncalled for. He had his chance the last 2.5 books but made NO real moves. And then there’s Seth. Now don’t get me wrong I understand he’s just a lil goofball who wants hugs but I swear he did nothing to actually help the situation. His pack shunned him and he damn near made the heirs do the same. He has no pull to Darcy so why the ACTUAL fuck can’t he just cut her off? I feel like there’s more motive behind it but I just can’t.

I can’t do EVERYONE pining over the twins. It was nice when it was just Caleb & Darius for Tory and Lance for Darcy but seriously? Seth and Diego too? This is some reverse harem stuff that I’m NOT enjoying. 

Personally I loved the plot, hate Lionel but what else is new? 

I’m excited to start Shadow Princess but I sort of feel that if Lionel isn’t taken care of by the end of that book- im going to lose my mind.

4.5/5

No thoughts, just Lance and Blue. 


  
    “In Solaria blue means royal. And to me, blue means you”

“But you make me want to burn the whole world down so that I can claim you for my own.” “Then we should burn it down,” I agreed”

AMEI DEMAIS. A tensão entre os personagens é impecável e os gajos estão todos a ganhar um soft spot por elas🥺

Things are finally starting to pick up by this book. Takes you 3 books to finally get somewhere and start getting some answers.

Will continue reading the series now that the plot is moving along, hopefully things keep the pace 🤞
