🌟 Zodiac Academy: Cursed Fates
The book is lucky to have gotten 3 stars. It felt unnecessarily long, and the character development really dropped off. The writing style needs a lot of work, and a new editor is definitely in order. The plot got lost along the way, and there were way too many filler scenes just to bulk up the book. The sex scenes were unnecessary, and the ending was honestly just ridiculous.
The biggest issue was the victim-blaming and the toxic “love” with the abuser. The relationships were completely unrealistic, even for a dark fantasy romance. The drama felt forced and added nothing to the story. And that unneeded threesome? It made no sense at all. It honestly felt like they’re writing sex scenes without really understanding how they work.
Okay, enough ranting. I’m still debating whether to continue the series since I already own the rest. Lesson learned: buy one book at a time from now on.
