this is my new obsession and personality trait. period.

this book is the first in a huge series (thank God) and it tells us the story of Tory and Darcy, 2 twin sisters who are suddenly taken away from our normal world and placed in solaria - a mirror world of ours, but with magic and mythical figures. this world (as well as their future school) is essentially regulated by the signs of the zodiac.
they will be thrown to the lions and put in test abruptly, since, in the future, they will have to take care of the throne. after all, they are the lost daughters of the deceased king and queen of solaria.

I have no words for this book. although it took me some time to finish reading it because I had put it aside (biggest mistake ever), after I got into the rhythm I couldnโ€™t stop reading. itโ€™s super addictive and there is always action happening. the sexual tension and the enemies to lovers in this book are everything!!!
not to mention the personality of our 2 protagonists. the fact that we always have the pov of the 2 and we can see how different they are is amazing to read. I loved how the whole story has developed throughout the book, as well as the construction of the world.

Iโ€™m so excited to read the second book and I recommend this one 10000x!! no doubt it has become one of my favorite books ever.
