adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced

Tory, you’re iconic, but make better decisions.
Darcy, no notes, I get it.
This was an addicting read, definitely 3 stars for the writing but 4 stars for the plot and 5 stars for the entire series so far (probably)

Posso scrivere veramente poco a proposito di questo libro senza fare spoiler, quindi mi limiterò a una domanda: quando avete intenzioni di dirci "quella cosa lì"? (chi l'ha letto capirà).
La tensione in questo libro è alle stelle sia a causa della "Reckoning", la sfida che sancirà l'effettiva ammissione delle matricole alla Zodiac Academy, sia a causa dell'imminente eclissi lunare (hehehehehe). Il risultato è una narrazione ritmata e sostenuta, che crea decisamente dipendenza.
Non vedo l'ora di riuscire a recuperare il prossimo libro, spero non passi un anno questa volta.

Absolutely the best book of the series so far. Dark, suspenseful, slow-burn, twisted romance - and that’s not including the plot. I was on the edge of my seat the entire book, racing through the pages, waiting for the next twist, the next episode of drama, the angst and torment behind the masks and politicking. I do wish we got more of the lore and world-building of Solaria, but I have a feeling that will be revealed the more Tory and Darcy learn about this world they are now officially a part of. A dark, dangerous, highly addictive series. TW: manipulation, abuse, bully romance, sexual content, coarse language.

So much drama! So much tension! And that ending—GAH! Also, I totally called what Order the twins emerged as and I can’t wait to find out how that’s going to go for them…

4.5 out of 5 ☆’s.

”Pain spiked through my chest, my lips parted and I suddenly felt like something had been stolen from me. Like he should have been fighting for me instead of accepting my fate.”

I had such an incredible time reading ”The Reckoning” ! :)

I just love getting to see these characters grow as the series continues…it’s such a bittersweet feeling, and I just want to give some of them a big hug…

ੈ✩‧₊˚

One of the things that I found to be particularly enjoyable was the depiction of the various Reckoning trails!

I felt as though the authors did a wonderful job depicting them — they were hard enough for Freshman students that were just learning how to wield their magic, but not too hard to the point where it made me wonder how students were actually passing them.

(So they were the perfect level of difficulty in my opinion!)

ੈ✩‧₊˚

The ending was magical — it was so nice to see this event that we had been building towards since the prequel novella, ”Origins of an Academy Bully”, come to its head (in a way).

I’m so excited to see Tory and Darcy explore their order and everything that it has the offer in the upcoming novels!

ੈ✩‧₊˚

I’m so excited to continue my journey! :)

P.S. Orion remains my number number one. ♡
