Zodiac Rising by Katie Zhao
3.5
3.5 stars
I absolutely love the overall premise of this book. The descendants of the Chinese Zodiac have been hidden at a secret boarding school since the source of their magic, the zodiac statues, was vandalized. The statues are found, but an elite crew and a covert mission are needed to take them back. The overall plot is intriguing and the magic is exciting, but it fell a little bit short for me. I think there could have been some more depth to the world building. I struggled with the characters a little bit. They are supposed to be immortal, but they don't act their age at all. There is also a love triangle, and some plot twists.
