I had such a fun time getting the Heirs’ perspective of ZA1. Firstly reading Lance & Darius trying to blame anything else besides their own damn feelings on being instantly drawn to Tory & Darcy and going crazy for them just thinking about them. Low key simps. I thought the authors did a great job and giving us insight as to why the boys would do what they did and making them a little more forgiveable… they’re still little assholes tho LOL. Ugh I need book seven now PLS… but I guess I’ll finish my series reread first.

Anche se questo libro sarebbe meglio definibile come il libro Zodiac Academy: The Awakening dal punto di vista di Darius e Orion, con l'aggiunta di un po' di Caleb e poco e nulla degli altri due eredi, devo sdire che mi ha aiutato a capire meglio l'antagonismo tra questi  cinque personaggi e le due gemelle, ma non arriva a rendere giustificabile l'atto finale.
Inoltre devo dire che tramite questa lettura si capisce meglio il potenziale magico delle due sorelle, cosa che avrei gradito vedere di più nell'opera originale.

Devo dire però dire che forse avrei fatto meglio a leggere questo volume dopo aver letto qualche altro libro della serie, perché probabilmente aggiunge degli elementi che verranno rivelati nei prossimi romanzi.
