This book was extremely draggy. It climaxed at ~85% and was a whirlwind til the end.

I KNEW Leon was going to be mated first, I think she mates with all 4 of them. But Leon was being such a big baby I had a feeling it was coming. Glad nightshade is dead. Ryder has really surprised me this book and he’s slowly becoming one of my favorites. I get bad vibes from Titan still so I’m not sure about that. Sooo glad I got to see the heirs in this book and see backstory with Orion.

Really liked this one. Pacing was good, sex scenes were hot, character and plot were developing nicely. They threw me for a loop with that plot twist at the end and tbh I don’t even care about Gareth anymore lol

this book (thankfully) didn't have the same issue with little focus on gareth so i ended up liking it a lot more. even though it was a little slow in the first half there was just more focus on looking into leads and figuring out what happened to gareth compared to in savage fae and i was so grateful. there was a lot more character development here than the last book and it was really satisfying to see them all grow and see their relationships develop too. that being said elise was pretty irritating as an fmc in the last book but i feel like she's evolving too, and even in the last book i never disliked her because she has a pretty good reason to be a little annoying and immature.

this book definitely grabbed my attention more than the last one despite starting somewhat slow since there was more than enough focus on gareth and the side plot this time so it felt way more balanced and satisfying to read. there was so many shenanigans in general and i think that's what i was missing from savage fae. the focus on the side plot (in my opinion) strengthened their relationships with each other and just made the book more enjoyable in general. the second half was a wild ride but it was pretty cathartic by the end even if it did end on a cliffhanger.

there was so much more lance orion than i was expecting (i also was not expecting to miss his presence so much wow) and the cameos from the heirs were really fun but none of it took away from the story too much. i was kinda worried of that when i heard there would be cameos in this series since ZA is set 5 years later and i assumed it would feel super forced so i'm relieved it wasn't overdone. their time at zodiac academy was somewhere in the middle and like i said before the first half was kinda slow but once they got back to aurora academy everything kicked off so it gave the series the kick up the butt it needed!
