Review: 4 stars! Don’t skip this one - Finished Zodiac Academy #1.5 - The Awakening as Told by the Boys, and let me tell you, I almost skipped it! 😅 Not being the biggest fan of retellings from different perspectives, I was initially hesitant. However, I’m so glad I gave it a shot! 🎉✨ 🌀 A Deeper Dive into Orion and the Heirs 🌀 What surprised me the most about this book was how in-depth it delved into the backstories of Orion, Darius, Caleb, Seth, and Max. 🌌❤️ All those moments when I felt frustrated by their actions towards Tori and Darcy? Well, this book gave me the answers I was craving! It’s refreshing to see their reasoning and to understand the pressures they face. It truly changed my perception of them — or at least softened my feelings a bit! 😏 The narrative captures the complexity of their characters and the struggle between duty and desire. The boys aren't just power-hungry — they have their own demons to confront, and their perspectives added layers to the story that I didn’t expect! 🌪️🔥 💥 More Than Just a POV Shift 💥 Yes, we do get our fair share of the “sexy, power-hungry men who desperately want to get in the twins' pants” trope (and honestly, who’s complaining? 😜💖). But it’s all wrapped up in a rich narrative that showcases their internal battles and motivations. The writing is as engaging as ever, and the dialogue is packed with the witty banter that fans adore! 💬🤣 I can’t wait to dive into Ruthless Fae now! Will the revelations from this book shift my feelings about the characters in the next installment? Only time will tell, but I’m excited to find out! ⏳🚀 👁️🗨️ Final Thoughts 👁️🗨️ Overall, The Awakening as Told by the Boys is a must-read for fans of the series. It added depth, context, and plenty of swoon-worthy moments. If you’re like me and not sure about reading a retelling, trust me, this one is worth it! 🌟❤️ So, if you’ve made it this far, grab your copy and prepare for a whirlwind of emotions! And let’s chat about it when you’re finished! Until next time! 🌈💕

Tandem read
You're gonna think I'm nuts but do it. This might be book 11 but its the same story on book one but with more context. Now if you're a bully lover and you want to drown in anxiety and all that then sure read book one by itself but i came here for a good story and hate bully romances. I read this in tandem with book 1 and its so good. It does add a lot of context and could potentially spoil other stuff but personally I don't care.

3.5 Stars Interesting insight but too long
I wish this was a shorter retelling of The Awakening. Seeing the guys’ insights was interesting, but after Book 4, we know a lot of this already. It was good to read but could have been much shorter. Honestly, it could be skipped.

Zodiac Academy: The Awakening is such a delightfully clever twist on the fantasy/romance genre — telling the story from the boys’ perspectives makes it fresh, funny, and full of insight. Each character feels distinct, with unique personalities that make you laugh, swoon, and root for them in equal measure. The storytelling is engaging and immersive, blending romance, friendship, and adventure seamlessly. The pacing is perfect, keeping the tension high while allowing the characters’ relationships to develop in satisfying, heartfelt ways. This book is a must-read for anyone who loves witty, character-driven romantasy with plenty of heart and charm. I can’t wait to see how the series continues! ✨

I have been waiting for this book for a while now. I wanted to see the other side of the coin. What were the heirs thinking? What made them do what they did? This book was everything I wanted and even more. I didn't think I could hate Lionel more than I did but it's possible, my hatred for him is even stronger and fiercer. Reading this book made me understand to another Level that some events were bound to happen, needed to happen, even though each time I re-read I wish something wouldn't go bad or else. If you haven't read them yet I highly suggest reading till book 5 or 6 in Zodiac Academy, it will help you reading this book to remember that now you like the heirs. It will help to no hate them too much 😂😂😂. I got my fix of Zodiac with this book and now I got a taste I need more.

Gosto bastante do universo aqui e de alguns personagens, peguei esse livro pra ler porque não consigo continuar o terceiro (de tanto ódio e rancor) e queria tentar ver o outro lado. Não que justifique nada. Acabei levando spoilers do que acontece durante a série e isso acabou atrapalhando minha leitura, mas mesmo lendo esse aqui, continuo gostando apenas do Lance. E um pouquinho do Caleb. Orion é maravilhoso, desde a primeira aparição, e adoro o relacionamento dele com a Darcy – apesar de ter achado que a paixão deles explodiu muito rápido. Foi muito bom ter essa visão mais ampla dos pensamentos e sentimentos dele por ela. Não posso dizer o mesmo sobre os outros. Acabou por me irritar ainda mais. Claro, aqui você lê o que já espera: a pressão que eles recebem da família, o medo de perder, a conexão que alguns deles sentem pelas gêmeas e tal... O problema é que só aumentou minha raiva por eles. Darius é um que não perdoo de nenhum jeito, ele pode rastejar na merd* que não faz diferença. Algumas atitudes deles foram sérias demais, independente da pressão sofrida e blá blá blá eles fizeram essas escolhas, e torci muito pras gêmeas acabarem com eles sem dó, só que infelizmente isso não acontece e já tenho uma ideia de como vai terminar. O livro vai ser bom se algum dos seus personagens favoritos estiver aqui, aí dá pra aproveitar e ter um pouco de "nostalgia", como aconteceu comigo com os pov's do Lance e um tiquinho com os do Caleb.
