“Wishing for something you can never have is a waste of time.”

A magickal academy and a set of dangerous trials. I went into this duology with high hopes, as I loved the House of Night series. I found the aspect interesting as it's based on astrology and powers based on the moon. Give me mystery, give me fantasy, give me magic, I was drawn from the getgo. I fell in love with the cover alone. However, I felt like it leaned more toward middle grade, and read like they weren't the equivalent of seniors in high school.

Tropes:
♉️ Magical Academy
🔮 Astrology driven
♉️ Trials
🔮 LGBTQ+ Rep
♉️ Contemporary Fantasy
🔮 Friends to Lovers
