Zodiac Academy

The Awakening as Told by the Boys

De: Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti

Narrado por: Jake Bordeaux

This is a retelling of book one of Zodiac Academy from the perspective of Orion, Darius, Caleb, Seth, and Max.

The Vega twins are alive.

Those five words circle in my mind like an oncoming storm. They change everything about the future we thought had been set in stone. They challenge everything we were raised to be and the stability of the entire kingdom.

They’re coming to our academy looking for the life that was stolen from them, but we can’t let them take it back.

So much hangs in the balance and we can’t risk the arrival of two naïve princesses destroying everything we worked so hard for.

I have trained in dark magic, overcome all challenges, and stood in the shadow of Lionel Acrux for far too long already. I won’t let them come between me and his downfall.

Which means they have to go before they discover how powerful they truly are.

This is a retelling of the first book in the Zodiac Academy series from the point of view of Orion and the Heirs and should be listened to after you have finished the original story. It includes scenes from alternative points of view, as well as over 50k words of additional content and scenes which have never before been revealed. So prepare to step into the dark minds of the Zodiac boys and watch out for the heartbreak and carnage that will ensue.

Insight

Reading things from the heir’s perspective gave a lot of insight into the choices they made and made me have some more empathy towards their characters. Great read.

Didn’t think I would like the narration, but it was phenomenal!

I LOVED the different tones to every male voice. The narrator did a PHENOMENAL job capturing each male to their character. Cal and Orions voice especially, so dreamy!!!

Multiple POVs

I’ve always been one to wonder what other characters were thinking during a story with with only only one or two POVs in a book. So when I started this, I really enjoyed seeing it from their POV‘s and how different perspectives can show you what is really going on or why certain people are doing the things they are doing. It really gives an insight on why the heirs are acting the way they are. This is also the first series that I have read that has a whole different book with the same story but from other POVs and I can say I really enjoyed it being able to see what was going on from there side.

More POVs from the boys? Yes please

I love books that tell the same story from multiple POVS and I love this look into what the boys were thinking during all the times they were being buttknickers to the girls!

Listen after Zodiac Academy 1

This gives the reader a lot of insight into the why of the bully part of Zodiac Academy 1. It is really well written and definitely worth listening to!

Loved it

I did a tandem listen with the awakening and it was soo good! I’ll relisten to this series forever I swear!

The difference in the boys personalities really brought out the story

A wonderful story told from the boys perspective and their life. Great story very good compliment to book one!!

Love this series so much

Hearing the awakening from the guys’ perspective adds a whole level to their characters & makes their development throughout the series more believable

Amazing

Loved hearing the boys’ perspective on the original story! Jake Bordeaux does an amazing job every time.

Heartbreaking

The understanding this book gives is worth it. I recommend reading it! The only one I don’t really like is Seth. 😅
