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.

💬: -wound fucking break me. So don’t you dare give in to them.  I’ll follow you into the shadows if I have to and drag you away from them kicking and screaming. Because they can’t have you. They fucking can’t.

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)
