I’ve been putting off reading this series until closer to the time that the next (and what I thought was the last) book is released, but I finally caved and I’m glad that I did! I really liked the concept and world building and magic system. I was annoyed with all the “you really don’t know anything about this world, do you” followed by cruel acts to emphasize the point, though. Like, how are the twins supposed to learn anything if no one will tell them what they need to know?! Gah! I’m pretty excited to move forward and see what their Orders are and see how badass they become once they can properly wield their powers. The Heirs better watch out, is all I’m saying. Especially after that bullsh*t there at the end. They totes deserve whatever they have coming for them.

3.5 out of 5 ☆’s.

He lifted his head with a demonic smile. “Welcome to your Awakening.”

ੈ✩‧₊˚

Goshhh — this book was certainly something!!

I will admit that I was a bit apprehensive going into this novel — because of how I felt about it’s predecessor ”Origins of an Academy Bully”.

However, now that I’ve finished ”The Awakening”, I can confidently say that I enjoyed it much more than the novellas that came before it!  :)

ੈ✩‧₊˚

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to meet our MCs — Tory and Darcy — and seeing the ways that their personalities, as well as the ways that they responded to confrontation, differed…

(And don’t even get me started on that ending — talk about going out with a bang!! 🤩)

ੈ✩‧₊˚

I’m excited to see their story continue once I finish ”The Awakening as Told by the Boys”!

P.S. Orion is the only man in this book that deserves rights. ♡
