CELESTIA : Year Four
The Darkness is always portrayed as evil, but what if the Darkness simply wants to be accepted like any other element? To be...good and save humans and shifters alike?
Celestia Rainbow goes from the lands of the living to another realm far darker and more depressing than she'd ever imagined. Not only does she have to accept the darkness inside her, she must now change her perspective and realize that there are two sides to every tale.
Without her men and family to assist, it's time for Odion to help Celestia find the real truth of who she is - or inevitably, who they all were in the past. A journey into the Dark World opens a door of memories and delivers all the answers she needs to be the unicorn shifter she was destined to be.
Time is running out as dimensions across the galaxies are being overtaken by the Darkness. It's up to Aslan's Elite Unicorn Shifter to use everything she's discovered, reunite with her lovers, family, and trusty familiar, and save the world as they know it before it's engulfed in black.
Will she be able to find her rainbow crown and fulfill the true prophecy she was destined to achieve? Only one way to find out.

Rating the overall series 3.5. The best way I can describe this is that it was like my little ponies but for adults. Instead the MFC having pony friends they were her harem of shifters.
The plot throughout was good just a little juvenile with some added spice. I felt the last book was rushed and we didn’t get a lot of time with her men and the relationships felt rushed especially with her last guy in the harem, Odian. It was mainly her POV we had a couple POVs from Finn and Orion throughout the series but not the other guys. There was a POV from Sia the alter ego to the MFC, Celestia.
Celestia is a unicorn 🦄 shifter who was supposedly the only unicorn shifter in existence and was bullied by her whole town. When she was 9 she almost unalived herself due to the extreme bullying. Her parents both left to do “important” jobs and had paid for caretakers that abandoned her and left her to take care of herself since she was 5. A man named Magnar found her and offered to take her in and train her.
When she was 24 she found out she was excepted to an elite academy for shifters. There she met a group of misfits like her that were bullied. Finn a pixie, Hunter a Phoenix, Theo a vampire bat shifter, twins Caio and Cairus both different kinds of tiger shifters, and Orion basically a flying unicorn. They all bond with her and are fated mates and are a reincarnation of the princes of a past life, the husbands to Sia a past queen who was murdered by the council that is trying to kill Celestia.
Throughout the series readers are led to believe that Lucian, the prince of darkness is the bad guy that has the darkness forsaken turning and killing shifters but it’s really the councils doing. Lucian was the only husband to Sia that survived and is actually trying to help in his weird way. We also are led to believe the twin to Orion, a dark rider is bad but he’s actually helping behind the scenes protecting Celestia and the whole group. He is also her fated mate who bonds with her.
Good defeats evil and it just kind of ends there… knowing Celestia will marry her men and be the Queen to fight off the forsaken and restore the realms to what they once were.
Come to find out Celestia isn’t the only unicorn, she finds out her dad isn’t a gate keeper and he was the dean to the school she goes to. Her mom secret mission is that she’s the commander for all the shifters in danger from the forsaken. Another shocker was that she had more than one dad and that Mother Nature granted her a birth from
More than one dad. one a Unicorn, another a giant who was a gate keeper , Magnor turns out to be one of her dads, and of course the one she thought was her only dad. So how the hell did she have all these parents but was left to be on her own the way she was. They so desperately wanted a child that they begged Mother Nature to grant them a birth that she could not have on her own to leave this child alone to be bullied the way she was. It just doesn’t make sense!!!! It felt like unbelievable to me as a reader.
There is one trigger warning. Odion was physically and sexually abused as a child which is described in last book. Overall the character development was missing especially for most of her men especially Theo, Hunter, Caio, and Cairus. There was some for Finn, Orion and Odion. I would have liked more from the guys POV. I think there needs to be an epilogue. The fight with the counsel at the end was basically 4 pages that felt was suddenly thrusted on us without a plan.

Book was very rushed, huge time gaps (which were written) but it felt like they were excuses to not build the character relationships or go into detail for many things. Ending was very underwhelming, the final battle lasted like 4 pages and the author had the readers jump in at the end of the battle. No big details on the planning or beginning of it. Also felt that while all the relationships needed more details, the author only really focused on three of the partners and glossed over the others. I wanted more development between them all. I said N/A for plot or character driven because I don't think there was enough depth on either to say if there was a focus. Overall, quick read, decent idea, but needed more, well, everything.

Bland- Possible spoilers
What kind of an ending is that? Good grief! That was barely an ending as so many things are left open ended. Not even an epilogue to tie things together? There's a whole council, but only one of them fights her because he's the strongest? And what about the other council members? The potion kills them but not him? It makes no sense. I also didn't get why Celestia has to lose half her soul to the bad guy. That whole thing was just confusing! Further more, what was the point of her guys if they basically did nothing in the last battle?
This book was disappointing. While I was happy she had time with Odion, I was unhappy that she didn't have time with the others. That seems to be really common in this series. There's no way for her to balance her time between them so the author makes them be sleeping or gone. I feel like Orion and Finn got a lot of attention. Then, the others got small amounts of her attention. Cairo and his brother got the least attention, almost to the point of them being completely ignored unless she needed their powers. This is not really a reverse harem. It's more like a girl who gets the attention of 7 guys that she strings along to keep her company. I feel like there's no real reason for her to have so many guys since she really doesn't need them and rarely has time for them. When you think about it, they were all either sleeping or passed out through most of the series. Whether it was a couple of them down or Celestia being down, it seemed like the author did everything in their power to never have the characters come together as a group except in the most extreme situations. It was weird. I didn't like it. The series has potential and I liked the plot. I just don't feel it was well executed. In the end, I barely cared what happened because I felt Celestia was so weak. I mean seriously, how many times was she passed out for days? It was ridiculous!
I don't know whether or not to recommend this series. It wasn't all bad, but it definitely was bland and left a lot to be desired.

The author really lays on the traumatic early years way too thick… to the point that it makes it completely unbelievable. And since it is way too far to be plausible it just makes the h seem whiny, clingy, draining. She needs constant positive feedback, support, acknowledgment, attention etc..
What makes the ridiculously over the top traumatic upbringing even worse is that the h lies to cover up the neglect and abuse. She doesn’t cover it up because it’s her loved ones or for some other valid reason… nope it was the random people of her village doing all the neglect and abuse on a 6 year old. Which I find really hard to believe that an entire village including her teacher would abuse and neglect a 6 year old. I mean go out of their way to abuse her.
Part of the abuse was because they didn’t believe she was a unicorn shifter. So why didn’t she just shift?? No reason given. I guess then the author wouldn’t be able to create such a horrible backstory.
I listened to this book and the narrator was not good so it might have made the book worse than if I’d read it.

Celestia 4
What do you do when you get all the answers to all the questions??? I jumped in joy! Celestia picks up exactly where we left off! This time Celestia gets to see all the strings from all the players on the board and how and why they keep crossing with hers. As her power grows, so does her relationships with the men in her group, and she gets time to spend with her new/old love in the darkness that he calls home.
I loved how Celestia’s story concluded, she has moments of doubt and some regret, moments where she feels that the weight on her shoulders will never get lighter. But with the love of her parents, her familiars and her men, she reaches the happy ending that she desperately deserved and that I anticipated.
🥰 Run and download this epic book in the series!!! Then prepare to get swept away.

YESSSS
Totally recommend ! Please read ! The plot was sooo amazing I loved all the action! The story was so perfect & wrapped up rather nicely & beautifully. I loved how much background it offered on all the characters and how much growth was established. I also liked the bits of spice that were involved in the story. I love series like this where the focus is on the plot & has spice sprinkled throughout instead of overloaded with it. The story made my heart warm & break in different areas but gosh was I enthralled and throughly enjoyed this series. Thank you so much!

Fantastic
This was such a great read. I loved how everything came together. Strong characters with just the right amount of emotional struggles. And still enough suspense to keep you turning the pages. I really hope there will be more at some point. If you haven’t started this series, do it! You won’t be disappointed.

I’m glad this is over. I don’t recommend the series; it’s honestly a waste of time. The only thing that made it bearable was its comedic nature, and the familiars were hilarious. The characters were in their mid-20s but acted no better than my 11 year old. The intimacy scenes seemed to be plucked straight from one of those story ads that pop up on Facebook or Instagram.

Celestia finally finds out the truth of her (and her men’s past) and that the bad guy, isn’t really bad?
Through more trials and tribulations, she grows closer to her men and more confident in her place and what she needs to accomplish.
A nice wrap up of the series!

Amazing Conclusion
Great conclusion to the saga. Loved the insight into Odion's life. Though I do feel like it was a little anticlimactic and could have used a short epilogue, I did still enjoy the story.

great story ending.
This is one of Avery Phoenix’s greatest endings. I loved the whole series. Celestia and her men finally get their happily ever after. All 7 men. Great characters and great storyline. This is a great series.

Not as great
I really enjoyed the first three which delved well into the plot. This last book however felt more narrative so was hard to connect. However, if you ready the first three, it's best to finish to get the ending. Enjoy

I was honestly pretty disappointed in the ending, it did technically wrap everything up but it wasn’t very satisfying.
I loved this series, some of the dialogue was still a bit juvenile but overall I loved the storyline

OMG! What a great story! The twists and turns... this was the ending Celestia and her men needed! So many parts of Celestia's story was revealed. Her men and their bond have lasted through time! Love this story and would love to see Celestia's future!

We get to Celestia grow into the woman she is supposed be and learn the truths of her purpose. We get to learn about the new darkness and the old and watch her face her enemies

Loved it
There was so much that happened. I can't begin to address it all. So much that was made to sound evil wasn't, and I'm glad that so many found their HEA. But I want an epilog of 5 or so years later. I need it!!!!!!

Really good, just wish the ending was better
Like the rest of the series this book really drew you in. The character development was very good as well. Only complaint is that there wasn't some kind of an epilogue or better ending.

I enjoyed reading this book, thus the 4 stars. But also what was that ending? I feel like there were holes in the plot that totally could’ve pushed for more. Even a few extra chapters! I’m disappointed in the thinly veiled holes and lack of really great conclusion.

Rushed
The series started out great book three and four had so many plot holes that I had to go back and see if I forgot or missed something, but it just wasnt there. The little lead up to the final show down and then it was nothing.

Great book
Enjoyed the end to the series. Would have liked a glimpse of the reunification and what Celestia and her crew were able to do after the council... it would be nice to see her actual HEA, but this tied up the plot pieces nicely.

Good Read
This book brought the series to an epic conclusion with an ending that I didn’t see coming. I loved the story although I felt the end of the book was quite rushed compared to the rest of the series. The characters were great and I loved seeing them all finally come together. Overall, it was a good read and I’d recommend it.

I must say I actually really loved this series but I am so disappointed with the ending, especially cuz Cairo and Cairus didn’t get their chance with Celestia. I did not like this ending!!!

A dramatic ending that left me needing so much more. After all the twists and turns there should be a bit more.

Celestia and Odion get closer and he proves once again he has been helping them all along. I love how things end with Celestia and Sia It makes Sia's story less sad.

The series of Celestia
I have read all four books and was hooked from the first book. The characters and the plot was awesome. I hope to read more from this author. Great series.
