Understand different POVs

This is a little boring for me honestly but understand it gives good context. Some of them were better than others.

All the Extras

5 ⭐ 3 🌶️ 5 🎧
A collection of short stories from Solaria.

SAVAGE
5 ⭐ 3 🌶️ 5 🎧

This is such a fantastic look into Darcy, Tory and Gabriel's parents' beginning. We start with Merissa competing in the marriage games, get to see how her and Hail find each other and in true Twisted Sister fashion things are about to go crazy and we're left on a cliffhanger... I loved these two together, in the short span we get some fun steam and get to see some fun banter. We also get to see Hamish! (and Lionel, but ew.) I can't wait to get the rest of The Savage King's story.


THE SHIMMERING SPRINGS
5 ⭐ 3 🌶️ 5 🎧

Frick frackin Washer...

I loved this little flashback to the springs though. I'm so excited to watch Seth and Caleb's relationship unfold.

NIGHT
5 ⭐ 0 🌶️ 5 🎧

I love Leon. Just freaking adore him. And Ryder and Gabriel and Dante too. Elise did good and I loved getting to see them all meet Gabriel's sisters for the first time.

SETH ON THE MOON
5 ⭐ 1 🌶️ 5 🎧

“You have defiled the moon!”

This was ridiculous and so perfect. 😂

THE REST
5 ⭐ 3 🌶️ 5 🎧

Everything else was just alternate POVs, but I really enjoyed them. Particularly Geraldine when the twins arrived at ZA and Darius during his and Tory's divine moment. Utter heartbreak but so good.

So fun to revisit Solaria

I had read some of these as they came out in different collections, but I LOVED getting to listen to them all together with Jake’s Lionel narration between each chapter.

First of all- if you’re missing Solaria it’s just so fun to “be among friends” again. It was like coming home.
The bonus content spans book 1 through 8 so it was like reliving the whole epic story.

Secondly- the picks of what to write from alternate POVs were perfect. The Tory/Darius scene from the end of Shadow Princess crushed me like no other book had and getting to hear it from Darius’s POV broke me all over. And back when I’d read it in real time I followed up with a Leon Chapter re-read as a pick-me up and I was cracking up that this book did the same!

Loved all the content and the narration as always is spot on. Highly recommend it you want a trip back through Solaria!

Seth and the Moon

Loved visiting the ZA world again with different POVs of big events. The one I was excited to get to was Seth and the Moon, it was hilarious. Leon's chapter was also so good

Details

Several novellas with added information on specific time frames throughout the Zodiac Academy series up to the twins being acknowledged as the true Queens but before the final war. I was a bit disappointed to see a few repeated stories from the main books, but the rest was great to have a little insight of how the heirs were feeling at certain times during the series.
