adventurous dark tense fast-paced

5.0

I really loved this one. This one circles around the Reckoning, and these trials are something that we learned about all the way back in book 1. The twins have been training to take these tests to figure out if they can continue with the training or get kicked out of school. It was a lot of fun, and there were a lot of WTH moments. Plus, in this one, we start to see how strong the twins are. I was obsessed!

I just want Darius and Tory to be together. Is that too much to ask 😭 Also love the romance going on between Darcy and Orion. 

On another note, these girls can’t catch a break, but at least the Heirs have backed-off on the bullying quite a bit for now in this book and act somewhat like human beings.

Tory, you’re iconic, but make better decisions. 
Darcy, no notes, I get it. 
This was an addicting read, definitely 3 stars for the writing but 4 stars for the plot and 5 stars for the entire series so far (probably)

Posso scrivere veramente poco a proposito di questo libro senza fare spoiler, quindi mi limiterò a una domanda: quando avete intenzioni di dirci "quella cosa lì"? (chi l'ha letto capirà).
La tensione in questo libro è alle stelle sia a causa della "Reckoning", la sfida che sancirà l'effettiva ammissione delle matricole alla Zodiac Academy, sia a causa dell'imminente eclissi lunare (hehehehehe). Il risultato è una narrazione ritmata e sostenuta, che crea decisamente dipendenza.
Non vedo l'ora di riuscire a recuperare il prossimo libro, spero non passi un anno questa volta.
