This series is crack. I don't mean that lightly. I mean I picked up book one and immediately lost all sense of time, responsibility, and dignity. By the end I was fully addicted and making zero apologies about it.
Zodiac Academy is trashy reality TV in book form and I am HOOKED. You hate everyone. You love everyone. You hate that you love everyone. The Heirs are absolute dicks — genuinely terrible people doing terrible things — and yet my dumb little brain was still drawn to every single one of them. The toxicity is the point and it WORKS.
Orion. Oh god. ORION. The forbidden teacher-student dynamic with Darcy had me in a chokehold. That man existing in this story is a personal attack on my self-control. Every scene with him was "this is wrong this is wrong this is wrong" while I turned the page faster.
The magic system is SO fun. The elements, the zodiac orders, the shifting, the power — I genuinely wanted to BE a Fae. Sign me up for Solaria, I don't care which house, just let me throw fire at people and fly.
The pace is relentless, the drama is nonstop, the chaos is addictive. This is not high literature. This is better. This is entertainment in its purest, most unhinged form.
✨ 5/5 stars. Reading crack. Will not be seeking rehabilitation.
