I keep vacillating between stopping or continuing this series, but the endings continue to make me want to continue a little longer. I liked seeing Darcy and Tory learn more of their powers, and also spend more time with Orion and Darius.
I was so stoked when Tory and Darius finally got together (so hot)! The ending was intense...I can't believe Tory. I'm a romantic at heart and have been pulling for her and Darius, even with the bad stuff he did to hurt her, but fuck me, I don't know why she chose to become star crossed. I just hope they can make something positive come out of it in future books...
The writing continues to be juvenile/cringy and I hate finding typos. The world building is also not that strong. I also continue to hate the bullying, but I felt like it's a little bit less in each book, especially since Darcy and Tory are fighting back more. Overall, I'm still enjoying the story enough to continue the series, but it's definitely not the best written books out there.

Best Zodiac Academy book yet. I feel we finally move the plot forward and the stakes actually matter. Much improvement in the writing compared to the third book, though still too much smirking. The audiobook could use another few narrators since the cast is diverse.

This cliffhanger is so bad that I literally have nothing that makes me want to keep reading. 
The authors have a bad habit throughout the series of being repetitive with their descriptions. The lack of growth in certain characters really makes me want to drop kick my Kindle.  <Spoiler>There's slow burn and then there's never going any where but leading you on anyway. </Spoiler>

Loving the Lance/Darcy relationship building ♥️. Once again, I am heartbroken at the end of the book & Tory just pisses me off! There was way more 🌶️ in this book (throne room 😉) & I just need Caleb to get out of the picture lol. Note: I listened to the audiobook and the voice actors did well.
