3.0

A couple of the stories in this collection added new information. Such as the alternate point of view from Orion about the fairy fair in Tucana or Darius’s POV of the Christmas that the twins spent with the Heirs. Or the story of Darcy and Tory meeting Gabe‘s family for the first time. In contrast, some of them just seem to rehash the old events from a different point of view without adding new information. Also every chapter is prefaced with an entry in Lionel’s narcissistic notebook of domination or something whatever this thing is he is writing. I ended up just skipping those most of the time.

It’s worth a read if you are jonesing for more zodiac Academy content, but you aren’t really missing out on anything story wise if you skip this before reading book 9.  ⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 🌶️🌶️🌶️
