About this listen
I’m a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, I’m Fae.
But of course there’s a catch–all I have to do to claim my birth right is prove that I’m the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically that’s true as I’m the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didn’t put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could.
The school they’ve sent me to is both dangerous as sh*t and one helluva party. Vampires bite weaker students in the corridors, the Werewolf pack has orgies in the Wailing Wood at every full moon and don’t even get me started on the dark and twisted ways the Sirens use their powers on people’s emotions, or how my sinfully tempting Cardinal Magic teacher hosts detentions that leave people needing therapy.
Classes are totally interesting if you manage to live through them. And that Gemini star sign I mentioned? It now determines my elemental magic and affects my destiny, so learning astrology is essential if I’m going to beat down my classmates–which is actively encouraged by the way.
My biggest problem is the drool worthy Dragon shifter who has his eyes on my throne. He and his three psycho friends are determined to make my time here hell.
All I’ve got to do is survive. But fate might have other ideas.
Dammit, why couldn’t I have gotten a letter to Hogwarts?
This is a dark, bully romance–don’t go expecting a sweet school for magic with friends around every corner. Fae fight for everything they own and Zodiac Academy is a cutthroat school for students aged 18+ where only the strongest prevail. There’s no Dumbledore here to save anyone’s ass and Lionel Acrux will give Voldemort a run for his money in the evil dictator category. So hold onto your stardust (broomsticks not required) and get ready for a bumpy ride.

Story-wise, I'm trying to get through it in hopes that it will get better. I get the whole bully to lovers trope, but it's still hard to stomach some of the things that to me seem unforgivable, even if they seem justified. I just hope the bullies get a hard redemption arc to make up for it, if they're to become lovers that is. Other than that, I am enjoying the story so far - a good amount of mystery, enemy to lovers slow burn romance.
I listened to ACOTAR and Fourth Wing, Iron Flame by Graphic Audio and they were amazingly done. So I really want to love this one. This series was recommended to me so I don't want to give up on it. I think I will listen to the next one. I just hope they recast Darius, I can put up with Seth and Orion. Otherwise, I might have to consider the original version or just read the books.
I struggled with Darius' voice and speech.

Amazing Storyline

The story is incredible and you really are taken I to another world (except for when Darius starts talking) but other than that. It’s a must listen.
Fingers crossed the voice actor disappears in the next book and they have to find someone else.
Love the books!! 80% happy with audio. Ruined it with one voice actors
