Picking up immediately after the events of Zodiac Academy: Fated Throne, we have pain and trauma and fire and this review isn't going to be very professional because I'm getting tears on my keyboard okay let's GO.
I feel like this is really three books smashed into one, I can definitely see the parts where the sisters were trying to wrap up certain aspects of plot with the intent for eight to be the final part in the story - but I also can't be mad at them for breezing over certain aspects? I don't even know if anyone else noticed this, but as I read I realized that there's not been a single scene I've missed reading. Sometimes I'll pick up a book and it will mention something happening off-page and I'll get a gut-reaction of sadness that the author didn't gift it to me - I never feel that about these books.
I get every single scene I want, I get more than that, and while that might make some people mad with how utterly huge they are; I love it. I feel satisfied, if not emotionally wrung out like a sponge letting my tears drizzle on some sad plant. Because for every time this book made me break down into sobs (it did, a lot) it also made me laugh so hard that my stomach cramped, and laugh so hard that more tears fell.
I don't know what they put in these books to make me love them this much, but I'm glad they did. I love these characters fiercely. I love this series fiercely. I don't need it to be written like War and Peace, I just want to wrap myself in the world and the characters that feel like people to me.
And yeah, that's a quote from my mother-FREAKING husband at the top who appeared like a radiant sunbeam in the night to set my heart aflame once again. MINDY 4 EVA BITCHES.
Content warnings: all of them, idfk. I cried. (just kidding, there's war, death, violence, gore, and sexual assault)

The authors continue to provide several twists, though they may be gut wrenching punches at times, that allow the readers to maintain a sense of forever holding your breath, tears pricking the backs of your eyes, and woe 90% of the series. There are some lovable moments though, and the romances have you longing for the stars to finally come through and provide a happy ending.
So here’s to fate, the stars providing some relief, and less anguish in the next book!
