We must feel the bad as deeply as the sea, for then we are able to feel the joy as high as the moon.” Hopefully I can find some better words some day for my attempt at a review...but today is not that day! The Awakening: As Told By The Boys (*retell of book one w/ bonus content, but preferred to be read after Fated Throne) Authors, if you are a member of the Goodreads Author Program, you can edit information about your own books.

I don't even know with what characters to start, because relationship wise there was a looooot here, even if some characters definitely seem to move with the talent of snails towards each other ( *cough* Geraldine *cough* Seth). Buuut, here we go.Ohmagod,” Darcy’s voice carried to me, but I couldn’t quite stir out of sleep to find her. “This is too cute.” I am owed nothing from you and yet you have given me everything. I am always surprised at what you hand me so willingly.” You know what I'm going to do now? I'm going to call my best friend and eat some ice cream and cry my soul out till there aren't any tears left which is impossible

Warning: I tried to keep it spoiler free for Heartless Sky, but might have spoilers for all the previous books (ZA 1-6). Also this review is a love letter to darcyorion, they birthed, raised and made me the person I am now. 💅 Seth was so cute and so funny. I was literally crying with how much I was laughing. I will never forget the looks the Uber driver gave me as I was fighting to stifle my laughs and drying out my tears. His POV is just pure gold. Lastly, what the first 85% of this book added to my life, the last of 10% of this book gave me a cardiac arrest. Every chapter just progressively got worse when I was already down, bleeding with my heart out of my chest and STILL the authors went and spit on me some more. I'll only find peace again, if know for sure that [redacted], [redacted] & [redacted] are going to be okay... Orion is Lavina's bitch for the next three months because in the last book we had Darius sacrifice himself for love and in this one Orion; because Darcy is made into s shifter monster by that curse, so he will spend the next three months being tortured by Shadow princess Because I’m not going to let them take you from me, Blue, even if they come down from the heavens themselves to try and rip you from my arms. I am not named after the hunter constellation for no reason. I will make the stars my prey if they set you in their sights, and so help me, I will carve every one of them out of their seats in the sky and watch them fall.”

See a Problem?

You’re not some gift from the stars to me, Darius. You’re the spoils of a war no one else ever could have won but us.” Though of course, Venus is in my chart and Lady Petunia has caught sight of the bothersome barracuda once more. Max Rigel is my most sinful of temptations, the shark in the dark who wishes to lure me to his sea cave and I don’t know if I’m Fae enough to resist him for long. I blame Venus and Moon, you horny duo! I gasped when I found out who came into the room after they found and used something from khem.. Tory's gift :D That whole exchange was hilarious. Seth: The highlight of this book and the best character development of this entire series. He literally went from tormenting people to caring for them and cuddling them because he felt their pain. This man had me laughing and crying at the same time. His puns and his monologue had me dying everytime 😭🤌🏻 also him going after Lance everytime to make him his moon bestie and Darcy, Lance and Seth sharing a room together was hilarious. He asks for trouble everytime but in reality Seth is the best wolf boy in this series and he deserves so much better and more than just cuddles. Chapter 5, 30, and 46 will live rent-free in my mind from here to eternity. The way they love each other is so pure, they only want what's best for the other at all times.
