Zodiac Academy: The Awakening

"Be careful you don't scare him," I began but the unicorn beside me let out a snort which sounded annoyed before suddenly lurching towards me and turning into a boy with frosted tips in his hair and a huge grin on his face."

i can acknowlege that i'm not the audience for this book, but even still, this is NOT well written in the slightest. i kept pointing out basic typos and clunky sentence construction, and usually i can tolerate subpar prose to a certain degree, but it was just not good here. did nobody read that sentence in the editing phase??? did they decide it made sense??

and the actual plot... at the very least, i hoped it would be a guilty pleasure sort of story that i can enjoy if i acknowledge its flaws, but no. i genuinely kept forgetting the love interests' names because they were all just the same brand of smirking hot male love interest. if you want to write about that, fine, but at least try to make them meaningfully different. i also don't understand this book's use of multiple POVs, since both tory and darcy sound like the exact same character.

the sole enjoyment i got out of this book was laughing about it with my friends, and sending screenshots every time something insane happened. if you have a high tolerance for bad writing AND just want something to laugh at, you could probably find enjoyment in this book, but otherwise, please don't read this.
