Celestia: Year One

Aslan Academy: Unicorn Blessed Chronicles, Book 1

By: Avery Phoenix, Yumoyori Wilson

Narrated by: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

What do you become when your father’s a centaur and your mother’s a powerful magician? A unicorn shifter…

You’d think being the only known unicorn shifter in the world would have a few benefits, like people treating you kindly or getting special treatment from the council. Not in my case. I'd be lucky to get a piece of bread thrown at me.

My name is Celestia Rainbow, and, yes, my last name is f---king Rainbow.

Shifters assume that I’m kind by nature, but trust me, I’m not. I’m fierce, short-tempered, and have the mouth of a sailor. Add in my stealthy fighting skills, advanced magic casting, and swift movement you’ll soon realize I'm someone you wouldn't want to mess with. But everyone seems to only look at my shifter side—my ditzy peaceful half, sprinkling magic dust and on a mission to end world hunger.

Regardless of my dual personality, I’ve sworn to become a huntress at Aslan Academy. Now that I’m of age—my lucky twenty-fifth birthday just happens to coincide with the entrance exams—I’m ready to prove my worth.

Too bad I’ve been grouped up with six sinfully attractive men.

Time to prove to my community, classmates, and this attractive bunch of weirdos that unicorns can kick ass too.

Can't wait to start number two

It's an amazing book, very clean, enjoyable. It will suck you in and if you don't have a credit, you'll go out and get a credit. Just to listen to the next book in line.

Series Review

This is an amateurish, lighthearted RH PNR with very immature mid-twenties aged characters (opposite of a lot of RH books that have very mature teenagers as main characters).

Book 1 has 0/5 spice. Book 2 has 1/5 spice. Will update as I work my way through the series.

SPOILER ALERT

The history for the FMC is that her mother left when she was four, and her father left when she was six. She lived ALONE in the family home for three and half years, while the entire population of the town physically, verbally, and emotionally abused her. She was often without any food, and when she was sick, she had no one to take care of her.

When she finally reunites with her father (at 25 years old), she's devastated that he lied about his job. She chooses to forgive him, as long as he doesn't lie to her again. NEVER MIND that he left her alone as a child and NEVER visited her in more than 20 years, when he could easily have done so!! (I have to assume the author had no children when she wrote this book...)

Part of book 2 seems to be missing. It refers to Ariel recovering from a serious injury, and I rewound twice thinking I must have missed something, but there's no mention of her being injured...

Fine?

This book has so much potential but there’s some serious timing issues that are driving me nuts. At one point the FMC is talking to her mentor and then the next page she is unconscious with a severe fever? I actually went back to make sure I didn’t space out.. it’s a cool concept and cute book, just some weird issues.

A Good Start

I loved the ending. Narration is spot on. I’m looking forward to see what happens next. I felt a tad lost a few times, but the ending, sort of explained that.

Good but could have been better

So I did enjoy this but it had the potential for better. Serious lack of other characters pov. Too much of a kiddie book when the characters are like what 25…put the steam in the book they aren’t 16 year olds this doesn’t need to be a kiddie book. The storyline was great tho.
