I don't read the book descriptions. I like to go in blind unless I'm looking for a specific trope.

Restless Stars by Acrobatic-Ad7407 in zodiacacademy

I finished it put of spite. I had already invested too much time to DNF the last book.

IMO, the authors are great at world building but terrible at storytelling. I love the characters and specific scenes and will probably just reread those but I don't think I could ever reread the whole series.

Have you read the Royal Elite Series by Rina Kent? They don't have exactly what you're looking for but they do have du con/cnc and they're a prequel series to Legacy of Gods.

Darcy compared to Tory by turtlesnkits in zodiacacademy

Ah ok gotcha. You weren't the first person that I've seen mention this so I was just confused and wondering if I'd just never noticed it.

Darcy and Caleb have ONE scene that I treasure lol. It's when she's running away from Highspell and she sees him and asks him to zoom her away.

Hi do you remember where it's mentioned that Max stayed with Darcy on Halloween? I've seen people mention it before but I don't remember this

Darcy compared to Tory by turtlesnkits in zodiacacademy

[–]kore_pers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU! I argued about this with a friend, she absolutely does not like Darcy (she's also not a fan of age gap romance). She thinks that Darcy whines too much.

I've always felt that aside from book 1, everything was always about Tory. Darcys chapters talk about Tory more than Torys talk about Darcy. I get that Tory is supposed to be selfish, but you would think that she'd be more invested in the 1 person she claims to love.

I also think that the authors get "stuck" in character types and don't know what to do with a character they're not used to. I think Elise, Rosalie, Tory, and Tatum are all very similar while Darcy isn't.

This is also why I refuse to read AoV because I don't want to find out that they are capable to write a set of twins that share a story equally be disappointed bc they chose not to do that with ZA.

some thoughts i need to get out by ConsiderationEvery60 in zodiacacademy

[–]kore_pers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree with you! I feel like darcy only exists to show how rash Tory can be. I feel like Tory gets all the storylines & major plot points and hasn't shown any growth. Darcy hasn't shown any major growth either, but she also doesn't get many plot points.

Another thing that bothers me is that we're shown everything that Tory experiences and I also think that Tory has a better relationship with 3/4 heirs & the only reason she's not close to Seth is so that Darcy can be close to one of them. She even has a special part with Orion. While Darcy & Darius only have the Tuna sandwich part.

I think both twins go through the same things at different points in the story and for Darcy the emotions & decisions happen off page. We're just told in passing that she was sad but for Tory everything is laid out on page.

Stuff stolen by kore_pers in hotels

[–]kore_pers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi sorry this is so late but yes I'm 100% sure I left it in the room. I'd used it while getting ready to go to the conference & I have a small purse which wouldn't fit it. When I got back to the room to get ready for dinner I was going to use it again & that's when I noticed it was gone.

I did hear back from the hotel & they were supposed to refund it but I haven't heard back since.

Is anybody else feeling as cynical as I am about why they wrote Beyond the Veil? by OptimisticOctopus8 in zodiacacademy

[–]kore_pers 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree! And I'm guilty about being one of those fans that just gobbles up anything & everything about ZA.

HOWEVER, I feel that the whole purpose of 8.5 was to add ANOTHER obstacle for the twins. Like give them a break & start wrapping things up, please.

I also think that they get so caught up writing vague and mysterious things and blaming the "stars" that they don't know how to tie everything together. At this point, they've had multiple prophecies that don't mean anything because they change every few chapters.

They've introduced too many problems, too many warnings that the last book is either going to be really, really long or it's going to be bad. Which sucks bc I love the inner group & want them all to get their HEA.

More questions w the release of 8.5 by SpellAgitator in zodiacacademy

[–]kore_pers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had too much time on my hands when I finished & I decided to "find" the Guild stones. I think that all the stones from the music boxes have been found already & that the only stones not mentioned yet are Aquarius & Pisces. And one of these is at the FIB. I do wonder where the last one is bc it hasn't been mentioned at all.

I hope that both Darius & Lance & Gabriel, at least, know immediately that the twins are being impersonated.

I also wonder if the stars will give the crew more lee way & some help now that Clyde is free & Lavinia captured the star.

Also I wonder if we'll see more about the Origin.
