Astrid! I've meant to go back and read the parents' books, and I've finally started that journey since I'm between books and waiting on the newest Legacy of Gods series. But Astrid and Leon are probably one of the couples I'm the most excited to read about. They are also the ones that we've seen the most out of the first 5 books in that other series. Plus, I really love their kid's books! They are Landon, Brandon, and Glyndon's parents, and it was so much fun seeing how these two met. I kept seeing a lot of similarities to their books, and it was a lot of fun seeing where this universe started. I missed the college setting. In this world, the Royal Elite school is just a high school; we saw them all focus on what they want to do next. We barely saw Astrid's artistic side emerge, and she became a world-famous artist. But we saw the beginning of her and Levi's sports careers. We even got to see their families, and it's just a wild ride in this whole thing. I loved it and can't wait to work on more of the series.
