Black Moon by Romina Russell

5.0

I liked the flow of the novel . . . The Zodiac guardians believed peace was finally achieved, but . . . Rho and her friends know the Master is still out there.

There are a lot of themes in this arc than in the previous two novels. Even though Rho was a bit irritating in the first two books - I finally connected to her as a character.

All of them are broken - and none of them . . . was the same after what had happened. Rho lets Mathias down as she realises what she felt was nothing but a memory. Mathias still jumps if she snaps her fingers (yes, he shouldn't), which showcases the deep bond of friendship he and Rho share.

Hysan - on-the-other hand - brings out another part of her that she fears. He changed the norm and made her see; how things could/should be different. He is still a mysterious character with his flaws and the secrets he has to keep.

Rho's best friend Nishi gets taken after she discovers a political party wasn't as it seems. (Of course, they fought about it) Nishi was dealing with grief in a way that wasn't healthy.

The Master gets unmasked and throws her whole orbit into chaos. Stan dies - and Rho's mind just seized functioning, and everything that has happened becomes too much for her to handle. Something inside her just broke - switching off all logic and emotions.

Overall, I enjoyed the addition to the Zodiac series.
