This book was so nice and happy and feel good for like 80% and the last 20% just ripped my heart out. I died of laughter and also sobbed so hard. The only thing keeping this from a 5 star is the miscommunication trope. It was fine and then it just kept going and was driving me crazy but also in the best way. IT HURTS

Heartless Sky was such a great book from the very beginning. Once you get to Heartless Sky, you've already read the first six books I'm hoping and you know how these books give you so much happiness and love only to rip your heart from your chest later on. 

Heartless Sky follows the Vega twins and Heirs as they decided to stand against the false king, hoping to end him once and for all. The book also gives you a look into what everyone's lives would have been if the false king hadn't done so many awful things to everyone from the very beginning all in the name for power and evilness. The false king wants nothing more than to rule Solaria with an iron fist and have everyone bend to his every whim, but there is a rebellion growing bigger and bigger everyday unwilling to bend the knee for anyone other than the rightful Queens. Every single fae in this book ends up going through a ton of character growth, knowing they have to face and fight if they want to save Solaria and every fae in the kingdom especially their loved ones.  I really enjoyed seeing Tory and Darcy learning more about their order form and training together with someone who knew how to make them ready for the war, but will it be enough? So many people suffer pain and loss in this book that I couldn't do anything other than cry for my favorite characters. By book 7, you've come to love each and every character and what they offer to this amazing story and series. I do believe that the stars love seeing the Vega twins and heirs suffering. This book along with the 6 before it have done nothing but give me emotional whiplash and yet I can't stop myself from continuing forward in my journey to see this series to the very end. If you can't handle emotional distress or trauma, I don't advise you to read this book because you would probably be scarred for the rest of your life. 🤣

Now while I'm still in shock with how Heartless Sky ended, I can't help but think that the authors did a play on words with this title by using the word Heartless. I mean come on, I'm beginning to wonder if these twisted sisters are Heartless or if they just get giddy AF while writing these stories laughin with one another while saying, "We have to give our readers hope every so many chapters to keep them reading, but we will still continue to rip that hope right out of their hearts just before they get comfortable and believe that they will get a HEA!!" Don't worry ladies I have you both figured out. In case either of the authors were wondering, yes you destroyed me with this ending. I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to pick up book 8, but because I'm a glutton for punishment, I'm always setting myself up for pain and suffering. 🤣🤣

Heartless Sky is dark academia paranormal fantasy filled with all different types of fae and magic both elemental and order magic. The attention to detail of each character, each order and their powers are **chef's kiss** perfection. You can't help but feel like you've been fully immersed within the city of Solaria and Zodiac Academy. The characters will piss you off to no end, you'll be ready to scream and throw your kindle but just as quickly be so in love and feel like you're apart of the family of fae. I literally give this whole series 5 stars thus far. It's going to be one of my all time favorite series ever!!!

carysbeesbooks's review against another edition

I just didn't need to read a graphic r*** scene, regardless of how evil the guy getting assaulted is, it doesn't add to the plot at all and was clearly just added in for shock value. I already wasn't enjoying the book as much as the others because they're supposed to be at war and literally nothing is happening but yeah that scene just cemented the fact that I'm done with this series
