I’m Gemini… No wait WE are gemini or WE ARE TWINS

So im just 7 chapters in and I’m considering to put it down.
1. It’s not one main character but 2, twins none the less.
2. The “sexual tension” is the girls being assaulted and bullied by the higher ups.
And 3. It’s the typical “ your from another world and not only that but you are royals”
If it was less attention to how the boys look and actually think that “ hmm, this is assault. Maybe not have that in here and calling it “sexual tension” is the way to go.”
It has potential with the magic and fantasy era, but it misses when it tries to be steamy.
Another thing that bothers me is the miss leading intro to the book. Had it said we are Gemini and we are fae, it would have been more true then “ I am Gemini and I am fae.”
I picked it up on a recommendation from tiktok expecting a bad ass leading lady who tries to build her powers and gets beef with the bad boy of the school who actually falls for her. But was thrown in some mello drama of twin sisters where one is cute and quiet while the other is a total “I don’t care- bitch” and ohh shit they are long lost princesses who went missing years ago.

Meh..

I found the environment and magic system quite interesting and would love to explore in the future. I came into this book with the expectation for it to be steamy, but even still, all I got was a story about girls who talked about being strong, with the story attempting to keep sexual tension as if it was OK, completely glossing over the fact that they were assaulted and bullied. I love enemies to lovers / rival dynamics any day, but this just felt like the twins were dumb, for some reason always focusing on the guys looks, even when they were in situations no real horny person would ever be horny about. Certain scenes it did work, but the horniness was too much, and I've read much spicer stories. There honestly wasn't much pay off for the sexual tension to work and the girls were just punching bags throughout the whole story, where there was constant repetition of the same things about "not letting them get the satisfaction" or "being stronger than they think" with no actions to back it up. I find this to be quite a shame, as I genuinely enjoyed following the characters when they weren't unnecessarily ogling each other. The twist at the end kept me hooked and I think it was well executed especially with Darcy, however I don't know if I'll continue reading as the constant pushing the girls around with not much proper development on their side has put me off. If they learned any proper magic at all or if what they did learn had actual impact, I'd probably overlook the poorly executed sexual tension. I was waiting for one of the to finally snap, and let the heirs show they need to take them more seriously, show SOME potential. However no such thing happened and I felt quite disappointed.

Couldn't read more

Well, it was a book suggested to me and though I was curious in the beginning and give it a shot.. well, it is not as intriguing as it seems and honestly I got tired because the bullying was constant, everyone is enemy and it is so fake the whole thing.. No, this book lacks adventure and suspense and interesting characters.It lacks many things. The performance was the only good thing.

These ladies could use a thesaurus

The main characters are unfazed by the new world they are thrown into and seem more bothered about the looks of the men that are horrid to them. Get better role models and avoid this book

Bad is an understatement

So poorly written, terrible characters that are somehow all assholes, sadly can't find one redeeming quality about this book.

Good Morning, the stars have spoken about your day

Good Morning Gemini, the stars have spoken about your day! And what they have to say is read Zodiac Academy!

What would it be like to wake up one morning, be followed home by a random stranger who convinces you to let him into your home before telling you you're not human? That's what happens to twins Tory and Darcy and then he tells you that you're a royal princesses with an insane inheritance that you can only claim by attending a special magical academy.

The world building in this book is immense and includes lots of little details that put it far above other books. And then income the Heirs or douchebags as I like to call them. In typical Fae male fashion they are over-bearing, arrogant and believe they are gods in this universe, the stars gift to all female kind. Each Fae can control a certain magical element with different numerical power rankings. Some lucky Fae have 2 elements and are more powerful like the Heirs, an extremely rare few have 3 throughout history but no one had ever held all four elements .... until now that is. They also have different order forms, transforming into different animals such as vampires, werewolves, dragons, sirens, harpies, minotaurs the odd Hydra.

The romance in this book does not start instantly it is a slow-burn but that's because they have to establish so much of the world first in order for you to understand what is going on. This was the very first book I read by these wonderful ladies and it was amazing and was soon hooked. ZA is a book I can instantly and honestly recommend to anyone and everyone to try.

Jake and Bridget put their own unique twist on every character they portray and this one is no different. They narrate the book with such skill and accuracy that it really brings new life and enjoyment to the series. I had read the book before listening to the audiobook and i found myself falling in love with the story so much more thanks to these amazing narrators. I can't wait to listen to the rest of the series.

love it!

I love this story! Very great voice and amazing series! Officials addicted to Zodiac Academy

Too many muscly guys

Building muscle takes a lot of hard work, but all the guys in this book seem to have them, without you ever seeing them work for it.
Also, the girls having all that power feels childish to me — like every kid wants to have the most magic in role-plays… this was similar to that.
The characters feel lonely, like the twins only have each other.
On the bright side, Darcy and Tory’s relationship with each other is great. Their sisterhood is convincing and they love each other a lot.
I’ll probably listen to the other books too when I get more credits, so I’m not giving it the lowest score. I like to finish what I started.
The voice actor was a great plus to this book. Her performance was great!

I tried so hard to finish this but…

I started writing this review and thought I’m being too critical and need to give it another try but no, it did not improve and I lost all respect for the main characters. If you want to read about 2 girls who are treated terribly by 4 guys, justify their behaviour and then get turned on by it this is the book for you. I lost all respect for them. They are supposed to be the strongest supernaturals there but the only reason they can’t use their power is their lack of knowledge, instead of studying and trying to take back control they do nothing, whine about it and let their tormentors walk all over them.
Not worth the credit and incredibly frustrating.
