I had this book sitting on my Kindle for three whole years and never picked it up. Why, you may ask? I’d heard quite a few negative opinions about it, which made me put it off over and over again. A few weeks ago, my bestie recommended this series to me but warned me that the first book might not be the strongest. She promised, however, that it only gets better and better until you’re completely obsessed. That’s all I needed to hear, so I finally started reading it. To be fair, I was desperately looking for a book that could pull me out of my reading slump, so I thought, why not give this one a chance? The story follows the twin sisters Tory and Darcy, whose lives are turned upside down when they discover they’re actually Fae and heirs to a magical world called Solaria. Thrown into Zodiac Academy, they suddenly have to navigate dangerous magic, powerful enemies, and a world they know absolutely nothing about—all while trying to figure out who they really are. Was it a literary masterpiece? No. But I absolutely loved how you’re thrown into the story completely clueless, discovering the world of Solaria alongside Tory and Darcy. It made everything feel so immersive. I also adored the twins. They’re so different from each other, yet both incredibly relatable in their own ways. After everything they’ve been through, I couldn’t help but root for them from the very beginning. Another thing I loved was the pacing. It was so fast-paced and addictive that I constantly lost track of time while reading. I kept telling myself, “Just one more chapter,” and suddenly another hour had passed. And that ending… wow. It was so abrupt that it completely took my breath away. I just sat there in shock, and now I need to start book two immediately.

📖 Zodiac Academy: The Awakening by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti ⭐️⭐️💫✨ 2,75 stars I finally got around to starting this series since it’s currently available on Kindle Unlimited. I went into it completely blind. I’d seen Zodiac Academy all over BookTok, but somehow managed to avoid learning what it was actually about. The story follows twin sisters Tory and Darcy, whose lives are turned upside down when they discover they’re actually Fae and heirs to a powerful legacy. They’re taken to Zodiac Academy, where they have to navigate a dangerous magical world, uncover the truth about who they are, and deal with the four powerful Heirs who definitely don’t want them there. As for my thoughts, I’m honestly still not sure how I feel about this one. I do plan on continuing the series, at least for the next couple of books, to see where it goes. I felt like the story was a bit all over the place, but I also think that may have been intentional since the twins are thrown into an entirely unfamiliar world and are just as lost as the reader at times. I liked the main characters, but the four Heirs felt a little inconsistent to me, and some plot points left me more confused than intrigued. While I appreciate the mystery and the world-building, I sometimes struggled to follow the direction of the story. That said, the writing itself was enjoyable and kept me turning the pages. Even though I’m still undecided about my overall opinion, I’m definitely curious enough to see how the story develops. Hopefully the next books will bring a little more clarity and make everything come together.

4,5 ⭐️ - Ach, wo soll ich nur anfangen – ich habe einfach alles daran geliebt! Eigentlich bin ich keine Fantasy-Maus und mich überfordert die komplexe Fae-Welt doch schon sehr. Aber ich muss sagen, dass ich hier sehr gut reingekommen bin. Ich fand es mehr als perfekt, dass das Buch in der menschlichen Welt begonnen hat und es dann in das Paralleluniversum überging, in dem die Zwillinge genauso überfordert waren, wie ich es war. Sie mussten mit dem neu gewonnenen Wissen und der neuen Welt genauso klarkommen wie ich. Das hat mir den Einstieg doch sehr erleichtert. Die Protagonistinnen haben wirklich mein Herz gewonnen. Ich habe mit Tory und Darcy richtig mitgefiebert und kann es kaum abwarten, die weiteren Bände zu lesen, um ihre Entwicklung mitzuerleben. Natürlich war der Bully-Trope hier sehr präsent, aber das hat es auch umso spannender gemacht. Ich bin tatsächlich immer noch überfordert damit, welcher Thronfolger welcher ist und welche Kraft bzw. Formgebung zu wem gehört, aber ich denke, im Laufe der nächsten Bände wird es einfacher. Der Schreibstil des Buches – eine 10/10. Ich habe alles daran geliebt und mochte den Humor wirklich sehr. Ich finde es vor allem so toll, dass die Autorinnen im echten Leben ebenfalls zwei Schwestern sind, was den Sister-Bond im Buch nur noch authentischer wirken lässt. Can’t wait to read the next book!!
