This is my first reread of Zodiac, and I can’t believe I forgot how good this book is!
I love how real Rhoma feels, and she has beautiful character development. I found her realistic and her motivations very fluid and natural.
I also love how Russell takes the characteristics of the Western Zodiac signs and creates complex societies with unique politics and cultures. A beautiful blend of sci-fi and mythology!

Very entertaining and fast-paced. I liked the story and will definitely continue on with the series. Sometimes it was a little too fast paced, and things just kind of conveniently happened. There was also a bit of telling rather than showing. Also, there was no need for one of the love interests for a 16 year old to be 22. But since it’s a debut, I’m hoping to see the writing improve a lot in the next books.
