OMG! This was so much more than I expected, it was such a rollercoster ride, in a good way. I'm speechless. Caroline and Susanne have done it again! This book is absolutely fantastic and I enjoyed reading it, I literally devoured it in a day. Honestly, I'm not sure if I'll be about to get over this one just yet.
Let me start off by saying, this series is a whole new take on the zodiac and mythological creatures. I loved all the different aspects of the book. It was brilliant, the characters have so much depth, the pace is great, the world is absolutely beautiful and so unique and fresh.. I wish I lived in this world.. I mean, who wouldn't want to be a fae, who can also wield one or more of the elements (Air. Fire. Water. Earth.) and can also be possibly be a vampire, werewolf, dragon shifter, hydra, medusa, etc. Ooo wee! This book literally has it all. It wasn't too much and definitely wasn't too little, it was the perfect combinations of all those things and more.
"What will a Fae do to claim their rightful place in Solaria?"
"Anything."
Zodiac Academy: The Reckoning is the third book in the Beasts and Bullies series and pretty much continues where the second book ends, after the nymph attack.
It's Hell Week on campus, which marks the beginning of The Reckoning week. During this week all students, mainly freshmen, have to pass their Elemental trials and of course the finally assessment which will determine whether they are worthy being fae and kind of secures their place at the academy. But that's not all they have to endure during this week, a fun little twist, where any of their peers will also throw further 'tests' their way and making their lives hell!
Tory and Darcy are becoming stronger as they learn how to control their elemental magic more. It's awesome to see how far they've come since they arrived at Zodiac Academy. The relationships with the heirs becomes more complicated, as does Darcy's relationship with Orion. We get a hilarious sex education class, and a whole new set of problems to face.
We also FINALLY find out which Order Tory and Darcy are in! No spoilers! hehe
The last few chapters were really intense and THE FREAKING ENDING OMG!!!! And yes, of course the cliffhanger, these two authors definitely know how to keep their readers hanging in suspense for the next book! This book is absolutely fantastic, exciting, thrilling, terrifying, and addicting. It will leave you wanting more! The characters are complex and the storyline is great!
I can’t wait for the next book, Zodiac Adademy: Shadow Princess!
I highly recommend it!
