Although I really enjoyed Tory and Darcy and I found the world building really interesting, the amount of non-consensual acts in this book almost made me DNF. About 3/4 of the way through, the girls just resign themselves to the abuse. The sexual encounters feel tense and forced, especially after the excessive and constant bullying the girls face.

Was this good? No. Am I going to read the next book… *sigh* yes. Anyway, I don’t recommend if you have any experience with sexual harassment/assault or bullying because I feel like it could be very triggering and definitely made me feel super uncomfortable at times. On the other hand, if you want a silly goofy time romantasy that’s addictive and can look past the walking red flags all the men display in this book…yeah this is the one for you. I have definitely found my guilty pleasure series of the year 🤦🏻‍♀️

This is so bad. The writing, the character development, the world building and the plot are all very underdeveloped. Barely viable as an original work due to the blatant stealing from Harry Potter. It’s almost as if an AI wrote it after being trained on only the parts of Harry Potter where Fenrir Greyback, Dolores Umbridge, Professor Snape, Bellatrix LeStrange and Draco Malfoy were acting their worst. The twins are idiots and make every bad decision possible, even after being shown repeatedly that they are not safe and cannot trust any of the four Heirs. The magic system is extremely stupid because they wanted to tie it to zodiac symbols somehow, but they couldn’t be bothered to actually develop anything that could make sense, so they just sort of throw in some basic astrology terms once in a while and pretend that it fits. The magical creatures have absolutely no rhyme or reason and it’s overly complicated and poorly explained. There is a tense mood the whole book as if it’s leading up to something that will be a big reveal or bring clarity, but that does not happen in this book. The entire thing is just incel t*rture p*rn that is meant to demean all of the female characters, and some of the male characters. The twins do not get any triumphs or moments of retribution or justice at any point in the story. Every time things appear as if they will turn favorable for either or both of the twins, the next action always brings even more pain and struggle for them. There is no possible amount of redemption that could exist to make any of the four heirs or their teachers even slightly palatable as love interests after this book. Viciously trying to humiliate, maim and kill the twins repeatedly is not cute foreplay and anyone who is pretending that it is should be on a watchlist.
