Zodiac Academy: Heartless Sky Part 4

Chat, can we all agree that this level of chaos is incredibly fun? Aside from the union from Hell - Lionel and Lavinia - the A.S.S. gang is making kicking ass and taking names. A potential murderer is apprehended (a PLANT anyone???), Gerry scoops an eye, and Xavier shines in his gilded rainbow armor! On the other hand, He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Shamed and Darcy get busy with some books, while Seth struggles with his unrequited love. Leon brings some extra insane energy to the party as well. How are we feeling readers? Sound off in the comments. 

Zodiac Academy: Heartless Sky Part 3

Sorry folks - we had a delay on posting this week because of an error with our host. But we're back with a new episode! It's about time we confront some dark magic. Many, might I add - nymph eyes, curses, artifacts, oh my! In this episode we get some fun action in the war against the nymphs and learn some of the history behind Vard's nasty little red eye. We also finally confront what the characters have all been avoiding - Darcy's curse - visit an ancient library to look for cures. This section was one of my favorites so far. What did you guys think? Let us know!

Zodiac Academy: Heartless Sky Part 2

On this week's episode, we get a battle, a murder, a divorce, and a marriage all in about six chapters! So much happens in this section - and we are here for it. So far, this is probably one of the best books of the series for us. So many fun things are happening in this book - not including the murder mystery of course, or the shadowy bitch demon. Or the fact that Darius still can't seem to fucking accept the fact that he is in love with the heir to the throne! So many fun things! But hey, at least there's a wedding right?

Empyrean Series Teaser: Violet's Signet

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, readers! We hope you are as excited as we are about the upcoming release of Onyx Storm, so we decided to release a short teaser for season 2! We cannot wait to discuss our theories about Fourth Wing and Iron Flame - and we hope you join us. What do you think Violet's second signet is? We'd love to hear your thoughts. 

Zodiac Academy: Heartless Sky Part 1

We've finally made it to book 7. And we're jumping right in. The last book ended on a bittersweet note - we got some major victories at a major price. But now that our heroes are organizing, how will things go? We get our first POV from Lionel as his plans are interrupted. We learn some things about Lionel's past, much to our dismay. And suddenly.. there's a murderer within our ranks. Who could it be? Join us this week for Heartless Sky. 

Zodiac Academy: Fated Throne Part 5

On this week's episode, Diego shares some much-needed context for the current affairs afflicting! As it turns out, Lionel might be in just as much trouble as our protags. Caleb and Seth are really becoming our favorite pairing, as we tensions ramp up and Xavier butts his bedazzled horn into everything. We finally get to see Darcy and Orion come to their senses (thank the stars!) and a major character dies in the middle of one of the best battle scenes in the books so far. And hey, remember how we joked about that wedding? Yeah... Yeah, we got the wedding. Hold onto your A.S.S.’s because this one is wild ride. 

Zodiac Academy: Fated Thone Part 4

On this week's episode of What Will the Stars Fuck Up Next, Seth reveals his plans about Orion and Darcy to Darius, while Max gets some unfortunate news about his family's little secret. The Spares take a front seat in this selection as well, as we get more of a glimpse into Hadley and Xavier's relationship. Hadley offers some misguided advice for the innocent Pegasus that we love so much. Meanwhile, Catalina has been cozying up to Daddykins Grus and Gabriel finally gets a turn on the royal oracle chair for a chilling prophecy.

Zodiac Academy: Fated Throne Part 3

Last we left off, Tory was struggling to play her role as Lionel's bodyguard and Darcy was forced into a one-on-one with Orion. Seth is determined to play matchmaker with Darcy and Orion in the WORST way possible (and arguably the funniest way possible). Since the authors are determined to drag this out, we are looking forward to more Seth shenanigans! Plus, in part 3 of Fated Throne, we finally learn some more about the royal family and their secret lives before the event of the twins' expulsion from Solaria. 

Zodiac Academy: Fated Throne Part 2

Whew, we warned you, readers! Tory is once again in danger and Darcy has stepped up to the plate as the leader of their growing faction. Will they be able to help Tory, despite the bond? Seth, on the other hand, needs to learn to stay out of meddling with Darcy's life, despite his hilarious attempts to help her. Lionel takes his new power as an opportunity to enforce segregation amongst the orders, while Xavier wrestles with... bedazzling. Join us for a hilarious episode!
Edit: The episode has been updated due to some portions of it having dead air space, which should be fixed now! Thanks to everyone who let us know. 

Zodiac Academy: Fated Throne Part 1

By the STARS readers, that last book left us fucking reeling. Fated Throne starts off strong - new weapons, changing friendships, and new plans. However, we all know these authors are particularly skilled at bringing us up before we hit rock bottom, so don't get too comfy. Tory's life is in the hands of the one person who can't be trusted and he's gaining power with every page. On the other hand, Darcy teams up with the heirs and puts her phoenix powers to good use. Plus, we meet the Spares as fully-fledged Zodiac Academy students, including one (very beloved) pegasus. Join us on this week's episode!
