I totally get the hype here.
This was definitely cringy, but also fun. I’m not sure I really like any of the characters besides Darcy. I like Tory but she can grate on me because of her internal monologues and the hating on other women. You can be confident in yourself without putting others down. ANYWAY that’s small and subtle and maybe I’m being to picky?
The world building is kind of silly (Faebook?) and while I could see people not liking the zodiac magic system, I like it because I like astrology!
Im excited about the girls characters growing and their powers emerging. But I’m mostly hesitant about the romance because I don’t like any of the men in this story qnd I don’t see how that could change or how they could redeem themselves.
Mostly I’m hoping the girls get revenge and kick ass in the next book. Starting with Heirs and ending with literally everyone else.
