Zodiac Academy by Susanne Valenti and Caroline Peckham I never expected this series to grab my heart the way it did, but dammit if I don't love each and every one of these jerks. It is ridiculous, insane, and also shockingly sweet at times.

Just listen, maybe think about it for a bit before you judge,

but

no matter WHAT I do I can only picture Christian Yu as Darius Acrux.

Am I like unforgivably wrong??? OR did I do something….??!

I'm only about a quarter of the way through Book 2, but here are some thoughts:

- Diego is a blantant stereotype of anyone that speaks Spanish and it's so obvious the authors have never been around anyone of Spanish or Latin descent

- The writing between Tory and Darcy is the exact same and I often find myself forgetting whose POV I'm reading. They also have the exact same personality. The only thing distinguishing them was the blue in Darcy's hair (RIP).

- 3rd person limited writing would have significantly helped with the above ^ especially as more POVs are added starting in book 2 onward.

- My own personal grudge, but why call them Fae if there isn't any actual faeries? Surely they could have come up with something different. I know it's becoming more commonplace to use 'fae' to represent any fantasy creature now.

- There are entirely too many 'Order forms'. I'd suggest one 'order form' per zodiac sign (Pisces = siren, Taurus = Minotaur, Sagittarius = centaur, Leo = gryphon or chimera, Capricorn = satyr, etc.)

- All of the teachers/faculty suck

- If it's a mirror world, why aren't they learning any college level general education? Surely they would all still need math, history, English, etc?

- Darcy's backstory for her blue hair was really stupid but I guess I would think it's deep if I was 18 while reading this

- Max and Seth are the worst of the boys and I hate reading about them

- I also just find the entire world setting really cringy and I can't believe 2 adult women older than me came up with it.

Just being real, I’m running out of ideas for finding ways to engage the Overwatch community with what most folks would call spamming or advertising... So I figured I’d at least make a post.

Below this bit is a general recruitment blurb for a gaming clan I founded over two years ago, read it if you’d like to find a group to game with that’s focused on the fun and chill in a safe environment, other wise have a good one my dudes.

Hey folks, we're the Heirs. We started out as a Destiny clan over two years ago. We maintain a member base of around 50-75 members but we have now shifted to become a general gaming clan with a pretty singular focus on community.
