Fated Throne: Zodiac Academy, Book 6

Started out really enjoying the series. Now I'm just so tired of reading it to get to the ending. No need to draw it out this long. At this point, I am finally giving up. I skimmed this last book only to find out it STILL doesn't end. I'm done. I just don't care anymore. Now I'm just peeved I wasted my money getting this far. What a cheap gimmick by these authors. It feels like they have just been expanding the series for money. Even Harry Potter had fully formed subplots for each book, and these guys are definitely no J.K. Rowling.

After the events of Cursed Fates, I couldn’t wait for Fated Throne. There was soooooo much trauma I suffered from CF that I needed some serious closure. These ladies definitely delivered exactly what I needed. Of course, I need more now but that’s what make these ladies so good. Their words are impossible to put down, and leave you wanting more at the end.Now to get to the good stuff.*******SPOILERS AHEAD!!! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!**************Let’s talk character arcs........Darcy: stepping up and becoming a serious badass. She’s had months of channeling her rage of losing both Orion and Tory, into becoming a Nymph killing machine. And the neat little toys she makes to help the boys fight them as well??? F-int AWESOME.Seth: Our lovely and devious Celestial Authors have managed to make me absolutely love yet another of their characters that I previously hated. His adorable friendship that has blossomed with Darcy is just fantastic, and him trolling Orion is just everything.Orion: He has been broken. I know that every decision he has made has brought him to exactly where he needs to be, but man does it suck. It feels like he keeps sacrificing everything and the *ahem* stars just keep screwing with him, all the while making you think he kinda deserves it for being a self sabotaging ass. He definitely comes a long way through FT on the way to redemption in Darcy’s eyes though, and I hope that means they have a fighting chance.Tory: well......... when last we saw her she was essentially enslaved to Daddy Acrux. Maybe Darcy and the gang figure out how to save her........ and maybe she becomes Lionel’s “favorite”. I’ll let you discover that on your own.Well, why are you still reading my review????? Go read Fated Throne already!!!!!!! Then you’ll get to see who was always fated to get the throne😈

After the last book, Zodiac Academy 5 : Cursed Fates, I truly didn’t think Caroline & Susanne could screw with my emotions any worse.I.WAS.WRONG. 😫Our Celestial Queens LIVE for our screeching profanities, feeding off of our tears & smugly chittering at our gut wrenching gasps as we read the sharp twists & turns in their impeccable novels.Zodiac Academy 6 : Fated Throne, was by far the biggest emotional rollercoaster inducing read yet. (PLEASE, for the love of all things Celestial, do not take that as a challenge, Caroline and Susanne 🙏🏼)The writing is well done, the plot is punishing in both a delicious and devious way, and the character growth is PHENOMENAL.

I wasn’t a fan of Seth in the past 5 books, sorry not sorry 🤷🏼‍♀️. But I fell in love with him in this book. Actually, all of the Heirs captivated me, their growth astounding.The supporting characters really made this book exceptional. Gerry, Xavier and the other “spare heirs” created a thicker plot with no meaningless fluff. I am all for a “spare heir” spinoff!! 🖤Overall, this book is fantastic. Don’t sleep on it. Actually, read all the books in the Solaria Universe, you won’t regret it!!✨✨✨✨✨

➞ SPOILERS! YOU SHOULD READ THIS REVIEW AFTER FINISHING THE BOOK***➤ TORY & DARIUSAaand we're back at it again with Tory and Darius 😪. Their romance is wearing me out because so many pages had to be spent on them repairing their relationship YET AGAIN. You’d THINK they just made some huge progress and BAM suddenly it's all gone. ☞ totally Cassandra Clare feels or is it just me?➞ The sacrificeI was never really moved by Tory and Darius’s love story but now every time I think about Darius's sacrifice I just wanna cry. I mean, I wondered how the sister authors were gonna turn this around but SACRIFICE? Really?? This is CHEATING and yes, even I can’t resist sacrifice and I totally care about their romance now. Damn you for this, Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti! 😉I mean, just give the boy what he wants! Was that really necessary? 😭 He just wants to be together with Tory!➤ THE FRIENDSHIPSI KNEW they would be amazing once they put their differences aside. The way the heirs were there for Darcy after Tory was gone…I also love the banter and friendship/bond between Orion and Darius! BEST THING EVER.And look at that, Tory and Orion’s unlikely friendship might be one of my favorites too. The talk about how they feel about their Wardens was hilarious. Also how she helped him by giving him some freedom? Thinking back to book four... WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT??All these developments, be it in character or relationships in this series are on a whole new level.➤ SETH... AND HIS MEDDLINGSeth… this guy is showing his cute and playful side again that made me like him in the first place (you know, BEFORE he cut off Darcy’s hair and became imo the biggest jerk out of the four). It’s actually quite unfair how easily he could get back into my graces again just because I always had a weakness for dogs and he’s a werewolf shifter. Seth has soo many classic traits of a dog, the licking, the being in distress when his friends are, being tactile, and wanting to cuddle,... Seth... is impossible not to love.Also, he’s one of the biggest Darion advocates in this book and seeing as they ARE my ultimate OTP, Seth totally became my personal hero. Gaawd, I KNEW Seth was my favorite for a reason LMAO 😂Besides him helping Darion get back together, we can’t forget about his trip to the moon, right? HILARIOUS!➤ ORION... AND DARCYSee? Orion is the most entertaining out of them all, apart from Geraldine that is. Am I being biased? Very likely but, cmon, this guy is a hoot!〜 I hated being tactile with anyone. Anyone except Darcy. Alright, and Darius. Apparently I only liked the D.And DRUNK Orion? H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S〜 I glanced over at the hatch which seemed to be whispering my name, then down at the ring on my thumb which seemed to scream go and kill Seth. The inanimate objects all made good points.On a more serious note, how dare Lionel mess with a DarcyOrion moment and wth was that curse that Lavinia *beach* put on Darcy? Why..., WHY are the sister authors doing this to me?? I feel personally attacked. I just want my babies back together 😭On the "bright" side, at least they all escaped and can hopefully be together in book seven 24/7. I need lots and lots and LOTS of DarcyOrion moments to make up for the time they were apart 😭➤ XAVIER... AND SOFIAXavier this cutie...〜 How do they even stick all those gems on? And was it the design that counted or just how many jewels I could stick around my junk? Do I get points for including the balls??I don’t know what to think about him and Sofia. They were cute at first when they texted each other but now I’m not sure. I only want what’s best for him and I doubt Sofia is it. She’s hella fickle.Also, did the sister authors really have to put in that "threesome" scene between Xavier, Sofia, and Tyler? I’m so sick of them 😪

I feel like this should have been the last book of this series. It was nowhere near as interesting as the first 4 books (I realise there’s a 5th book but The ending really crashed the whole book for me) and I’ll admit to skipping a lot of this book in hopes of it getting to the point or climax but it didn’t happen. I loved how in one of her other series it really finished the story with so much detail of the happy lives after the battle and I was hoping this book would really finish it off like that but apparently there will be another one or five. The author is really trying to drag this out longer than if is worth I think.

This series continues stealing my heart every single book and they just get better and better. I just can’t remember when was the last time that a series’ world trapped me so hard, to the point that I have been counting the days until the release date because I needed to know what was happening with the characters and what the stars would throw in their way. Yes, those little bright bastards in the sky that love delivering pain.Fated Throne has so much character growth and so many things happen that it felt that I was reading it holding my breath all the time. There is love and heartbreak, pain and healing, strong friendship and family bonds and lots of humour. I love Caroline and Susanne’s writing style and the way they evoke so many feelings in me. In one chapter you can have tears of sadness in your eyes and the next one you can have laughter ones. There is also a lot of action and we keep learning about Solaria, the magic and things that happened in the past. The characters' crossover and Easter Eggs from the other Solaria’s series, Ruthless Fae and Darkmore, was such a great surprise and addition.There are no words to express how excited I am about the next and final book. I can’t wait to learn about the characters' final fate. The countdown starts now and I am just going to keep praying for multiple HEAs until the day comes!

I've literally been counting down the days, hours and minutes for this book! I've been desperate to learn what's happened to shadow Tory and my book boyfriend Orion (yes this is a series and must be read in order!) Oh my, it did not disappoint! Absolutely amazing, addicting, awe- inspiring, soul absorbing (and soul destroying, have some tissues!). THE read of 2020! Releasing Christmas day makes it the best Christmas gift ever (even if it is to yourself!) So definitely start reading, leave the kids with the presents santa got them, get the other half making Christmas dinner and sit back, relax and enjoy! Okay, maybe sit back and relax isn't quite the right wording......... Let's try sit tense on the edge of your seat with all the Christmas chocolate and ENJOY THE RIDE!

The ending!!! OMG!!! THE ENDING!!!I need more. It cant just end like that! There is so much left unresolved! I really hope book 7 is released sooner that December! Not sure I can gold out that long!**Some potential spoilers here please do not read if you don't want them**Someone please kill Mildred already. Or strip her of her powers altogether or something! Sheis annoying, obnoxious, clueless and spineless.Kinda hoping Hamish Gets with Catalina are end game. That woman deserves to fund a man that will love her like she deserves!Seth reminds be a child. He has good intentions but doesn't always execute his plans well or think them through too much. Also, his crush on Caleb is super cute 😍Grus the super loyal friend to the true heirs isn't going to accept Max until he officially stated he's not going for the throne. Which we all know we wouldnt be able to win anyways.Orion is a overbearing idiot but no one can deny his love for blue. He may be loyal to his friend but he can see a way for both Darius and tje Vegas to get the power they have been working so hatd for. Shame Darius is a blind idiot warped by his fathers ambition. Also, loving the plot twist regarding his fathers loyalty 🤫DARIUS AND TORY ARE KILLING ME! it's painful to see how damaged each of them are! They need eachother in a big way! Really need them to have their HEA soon!So, much more I can say but don't want to give away too many spoilers!

Caroline and Susanne once again deliver an emotional rollercoaster in book 6 of Zodiac Academy.Darcy and Tory are amazing FMC and both face deep emotional pain in this book, facing each of their own demons apart from the only consistent support they have ever known .. each other.Each of the SC also go through their own deep emotional journeys in this book, finding their strength individually so they can come back together collectively. Lionel outdoes himself again with the depth of dispicable acts that he commits, the character is truly evil. Book 7 is rumoured to be the last, and I cannot wait to see if he finally what he deserves, but the rollercoaster ride of emotional turmoil is definitely not over .. for either of our princesses.
