Zodiac Academy 8: Sorrow and Starlight

Product Information

Where you go, I will follow. There is no force powerful enough in this life or the next to tear you away from me.” The Awakening: As Told By The Boys (*retell of book one w/ bonus content, but preferred to be read after Fated Throne) overall i liked their moments, though they didn't do much besides having sex 🤨 but I like that Tory is still so Tory even while being in love. she never stopped giving darius hell lol. We all know they are the relationship I came here for. They own my heart and this book gave us so many highs and lows with them that I got all squeaky and fangirling. The Power Shamed status Orion had was annoying AF because it messed with them a lot, but I loved how Darcy never gave a shit. And Orion was so content to stay in the shadows if that was the only way he could be next to his Blue that it just both broke and warmed my heart.

You are meant for the sunlight, Lance Orion. So you’ll stand with me in it or else we’ll stay in the dark together,” she said hotly and I met her gaze, the taste of that very sunlight she spoke of on my tongue now. She was my destiny, and there was no two ways about that. I would follow her so far into the light that I’d go blind, or so deep into the dark that I’d be lost forever. I am considerably less excited about the final instalment than I had been before the last 10% slapped us so hard 😖 And this discussion? I don't know whether to be annoyed with Darius, worried about their bromance or glad they've managed to find common ground somehow.When I’m queen, I’m going to buy you this library,” I decided. “Then you can do whatever you like with these books, because they’ll be all yours.”

Seth is my favorite in the series apart from Darcy and Orion. I love his friendship with Darcy and I'm dying for them to be Nebulla Allies. But the way this man annoys Orion is something else 🤣

See a Problem?

a year of them being in some shelter and every once in a while being mentioned there is a war happening??? There were so many great and beautiful moments in this one. And I loved how the authors were focused on every couple. The time they all spent together as the family was so precious.

They lost so much in the last few months but their love for one another never wavered. It is always unconditional. It was painful to see how everyone was avoiding them because of Lance was a power shamed. They fight for one another and to be together even if it means dying in the process, they protect each other no matter the cost and also take the fall for it, they would do just everything for each other. They both treated each other as equals. He saw her as his queen and she saw him as his king. ✨️ SOULMATISM AT ITS FINEST ✨️Classes are totally interesting if you manage to live through them. And that Gemini star sign I mentioned? It now determines my elemental magic and affects my destiny, so learning astrology is essential if I’m going to beat down my classmates – which is actively encouraged by the way. if you love my babies darcyorion then this book will be heaven for you. no joke i was crying out of happiness for them. i felt everything they felt and more. i did focus all my time on them instead of the other characters because they were actually developed properly (i’ll talk about each couple separately). With a little more time to stew on this read, it's teetering between a 3.5-3.75* as the last 10% makes such a mess that it's hard to see how it'll be righted in just one more book 😱

The most unbelievable part about this first 50% is how relaxed everyone is about the war?? Everyone is acting like they are still at school? We see no training, maybe 2 strategy meetings which were basically the same chat, never discussing any of the real problems. I know I have chosen the longest quotes but they are all so beautiful that I couldn't stop adding them. You’re not some gift from the stars to me, Darius. You’re the spoils of a war no one else ever could have won but us.” I really hope that both of them ascend as queens in the last book and that not only one is ruling Solaria while the other rules the Shadow world or something like that. That would not feel right, since they are like Yin and Yang. Two halves of a whole and I don't want to see them divided. Synopsis: “The winds of fate are shifting, and it finally seems like they’ve been twisted in our favour. On the run and cast out from society, we’ve been forced to hide from the mad man who stole our throne. But as more secrets come to light and my sister and I work harder than ever before to reach our potential and claim our birth right, the end is finally drawing closer.Nah, you don’t. Okay, okay, I can do better. I’m gonna name you The BFV – The Big Friendly Vampire. It encompasses your bigness, your friendliness, and your Vampiness.” I know you’re still not perfect, but I don’t want perfect. I want your flaws, your temper, your power, and your passion. I want you, Darius Acrux. Not a white knight who slayed a Dragon for me.” Seth and Caleb!!!! My second favorite couple, I need them to have some happiness together I love them so much! The interactions with Leon were too funny. good thing I got from reading the Ruthless Boys series: Orion crumbs and getting all the easter eggs now dhsjkh There were several occasions when I didn't know what Gerry was talking about. But I still like them both. One word - doughnut haha
