Alright, so Restless Stars, the grand finale of the Zodiac Academy series—was it everything I dreamed of? Sort of? It’s packed with all the drama, action, and steamy scenes I've come to expect, and it does tie up the story (except I wish more of the THOUSAND plus pages were spent on Tharix and Vard - IYKYK).
Let’s just say my relationship with this book is complicated.
For one, it’s a hefty read—like, “settle in for a few days” hefty. And while I’m all for an epic finale, the plot twists just kept coming, as if there was a checklist to check off every single twist and betrayal possible. Meanwhile, some of the side characters seemed to show up just to remind us they exist or to throw in their own questionable choices. It was... a lot.
I loved the characters’ growth, though, and the romance hit all the right notes (however predictable). But there was still that “will they, won’t they” back-and-forth that was simultaneously infuriating and completely irresistible (AHEM *Caleb and Seth*). You know, classic Zodiac Academy.
Now, the reason for 4 stars instead of 5? The ending. It wraps things up, sure, but I wanted *more*—or maybe just something different to feel fully satisfied. I mean, there were over one thousand pages in this book, and the HEA happens in a mere 20 pages. I think not. Not in my world. Dammit.
So, overall, a solid 4 stars. It’s chaotic, intense, and unforgettable, even if the ending left me scratching my head.
Will I miss my ZA friends? Yes.
But, damn, am I ready for a palette cleanser...and a therapy session.

Who cares about Diego??? And all the other unnecessary povs... 🙄. But mostly Diego's he had nothing to bring to the table except being a bad representation of a bilingual latin character.
