This book was so nice and happy and feel good for like 80% and the last 20% just ripped my heart out. I died of laughter and also sobbed so hard. The only thing keeping this from a 5 star is the miscommunication trope. It was fine and then it just kept going and was driving me crazy but also in the best way. IT HURTS

oh my god this was awful. i loved it but this was complete torture.. that last 10% had me holding my breath and trying to die. book 9 better be the last installment i genuinely don't know how much more of this i can take. also most zodiac academy books are long af but this is the first time i really felt the length it felt like there was way too much filler in this one. i love the characters and even enjoyed getting chapters from characters i hate bc this whole world is really fun but it just seemed to drag things out unnecessarily.

I’m tired, you guys. My heart can’t take the abuse any more. It’s. Not. F*cking. Fair. 😭😭😭

UPDATE: Re-read to finish the series. It’s worse than I remember, and I remember it being really f*cking brutal 😭 I’m kinda terrified to start Book 8….
