Mareeva's Reviews > The Reckoning

3.5 stars

♎ I take my Winx club + Harry Potter analogy back. This series is literally the smutty version of Legacies

♎ I think it's finally time to appreciate Orion to a better extent.

Orion starting every class by writing sweet little messages on the board🥰

YOU DO NOT HAVE A PLACE AT ZODIAC ACADEMY.

YOU ARE NOT UNIQUE

YOU ARE ALL BOTTOM-FEEDING LOSERS.

YOU ARE ALL A BUNCH OF HORNY TEENAGERS.

Orion making students cry😍

“DO YOU THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE TO INTERRUPT MY LESSON WITH YOUR INDECISIVENESS!?”
[...]
as Orion's voice split the air apart again.
“I DON'T CARE IF YOUR PARENTS SOLD ORGANS TO GET YOU INTO THIS ACADEMY, THAT'S ENTIRELY IRRELEVANT TO WHETHER YOU MAKE THE CUT!”

Orion purposefully screaming in Tory's ear while she has a deathly hangover😘

“This is so not good for my hangover,” Tory groaned.
“Hungover, Miss Vega?”
“Yes, sir. If you fancy sending any of your healing magic this way, that would be swell.”
Orion gave her one of his darkest smiles that said he definitely wasn't her friend right then. “Oh I won't be doing that. If you turn up to my class hungover you can deal with the consequences.” He shot to her side at a fierce speed and bellowed, “CAN'T YOU?!” in her ear.

PLEASSSEEEE why is this man so extra🤣

“Sir?” I called and he looked over, raising a brow. “Can Tory have another peach?”
He headed to his desk, picking up another one and shooting over to Tory's desk at high speed. “HERE YOU GO, MISS VEGA!” he boomed and she covered her whole head with her arms.
“Whhhy?” she moaned.

I am positive that if Lance Orion had been my teacher.....I'd cry myself to sleep every night, ask for more the next day and thank him for it too.

♎ Why does Diego and his stupid beanie have the same energy as jughead. I hope he gets killed off.


♎

Before I answered, Seth broke into song, “You are...my fire, the one...desire, believe...when I say, I want it that waaay.”
Caleb picked up the Backstreet Boys classic on cue. “Tell me why!”
“Ain’t nothing but a heart ache,” Seth sang, clicking his fingers.
“Tell me why!” Caleb started dancing.
“Ain’t nothing but a mistake.”
“Tell me why!”
“I never wanna hear you say.” Seth looked to Caleb and they both belted out the last line together with their hands on their hearts. “I want it that waaaay.”

nah bro.

Who do they think they are? Brooklyn nine-nine?

“If you keep singing at us I’ll throat punch you like I did to Max.”

Thank you Tory.

♎ The scene where tory was drunk and Darius took care of her🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I live for these pitiful scraps of attention

♎ The Tory love triangle is getting hella good. All the pettiness and jealousy? Quality content.

♎ This is probably the first series I've ever read where I equally love both heroes and heroines.

- Tory, Darcy and their sisterly bond is amazing.
- Orion goes to my favourite hero shelf without a doubt.
- Darius is just an oversized grumpy lizard. All he needs is more love.

Extra appreciation for Xavier (Darius's bro)🥺my little dumpling

♎ Why did Tory take that deal with Max?? She had such huge leverage on him but she blew it all away for a shitty lesson that could've been taught BY ANYONE else🤧 I'm pretty sure she could've even learned how to create air bubbles from a book somewhere. Give me strengths.

♎ These trials were sooo......unoriginal? I expected more from the reckoning too, it was all so easy.

♎ It would've been rounded up to 4 stars if my theory had come true BUT IT DIDN'T.

My theory (contains spoilers):
(view spoiler)[So I guessed that Darcy and Tory's order would be a phoenix in the last book.

Because Phoenixes are sort of famous for rebirth and "rising from the ashes" I thought it would be AMAZING if the twins died, probably by the hands of Lionel, making the boys worry in the process of course😏, and then RISE AS PHOENIXES.

God that would've been so badass. They didn't die, but they did emerge at the end of this book. It was still exciting don't get me wrong....BUT MY VERSION WAS BETTER SORRY. (hide spoiler)]
