Christ almighty. If I hadn't already read the first two of this series, I absolutely never would've read this. I thought maybe it would get better in the end, and it somehow only got worse. I hated most of this book. That said, it does move at a pretty quick clip, so it's not hard to get through. It still feels as though it's a 14 year old's stream of consciousness, and the running joke of her making up her own bizarre curse words only gets less funny every time she does this.
I'm really disappointed in this series, because the general concept is actually really interesting. I like the idea of the personification of different planets of the zodiac, and I really like the connecting factor of astrology between.
I also really like the idea of the representation of Venus, and how she unites the rest of them. All of that has incredible potential. And then it gets ruined by the narrative of the FMC. It's just too quirky and childish for me.
Last, but not least, I remember in my review of the first one, acknowledging that there were individual moments that were well done when it comes to the sexual relationships in this book. All of that goes down the drain in this one.
There's not a single moment that feels sexy, and the reason for that is that every time there's a sex scene in the book, the FMC is thinking about nonsense, and babbling whatever she's thinking about and really ruining the moment. It's bad enough that as I was reading it, I was wondering if the author themself really finds this interaction sexy, or are they intentionally writing the most uncomfortable sex scenes? I truly don't know.
Either way, I regret reading these, and I wish someone else would take this premise and write this story for adults, as it's meant to be written.
