what am i reading?? lmao more than half of this book takes place within a week… 

this is the 3rd book and they’ve been at zodiac academy for like a couple months, (as ive said in other reviews all the action happens at the end) why are we getting detailed chapters of each day of them at school. 

it’s too much.

Well, having finished these three books, I don’t think I can continue the series right now. All of it is so predictable I don’t think I’m in for much. The Reckoning was a joke, the confused feelings of the main six, also a joke, Darius’ father who seemed interesting was a bit of a let down and I’m already bored. The whole story will be what 8 books, but in reality could easily be 3-4. Way too much nonsense and repeats. Just no.
