Surprisingly dark for a novella! I wish it were longer...

Silly old me picking up this novella thinking it would be a cute piece of fluff about the boys when they were still high school students. WRONG. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. This book, ORIGINS OF AN ACADEMY BULLY, is told in dual POV by Darius Acrux and Lance Orion. Darius is 14 and I think Lance is in his very early 20s. We see Darius learn his affinities and explore the school he'll be going to in four years as part of an orientation sort of thing, which is actually quite cute. But then the book gets dark, fast.

I love the Zodiac Academy series so much. I'm afraid that I've been pretty annoying in my love about it, spamming people with multiple status updates because people have been unfriending me for it. I'm SORRY, okay. I've had to watch people posting updates for ACOTAR for years, to the point where it's literally the only thing in my feed whenever a new book comes out, so I feel like it's my turn to stan something. I'm sorry I'm a thirty-something with trash taste in books. But also-- it's not like I hid it or anything LOL.

FWIW, this series is aggressively addictive. Like, here I am, scampering around for the bonus materials for just another hit. Like it's blood magic or something (WINK). But I just can't help it, you know? Even though the writing is soap opera-y and, yes, objectively trashy reading, the story-telling and world-building are so good that I just HAVE to know more. In this novella, we learn about what really happened to Clara Orion and how Darius and Lance became bonded in a guardian relationship. Both scenes are brutal and chilling and are honestly probably going to give me nightmares. Which makes me feel like maybe this almost should have been a full-length book. I feel like the progression from lalala privileged rich kid heir frolicking in his soon-to-be-new-school to complete and utter despair happened so quickly it gave me whiplash.

Also, poor Lance. All of his dreams-- crushed. My poor little vampire. And the pressure on Darius and Xavier is just truly heartbreaking. You can see why Darius hates Tory and Darcy so much, especially with his father wanting his son to be King Gary Stu. All that training and effort, only to see two totally inexperienced people who are completely more powerful than you without any effort? It went a long way towards explaining his resentment and hatred. I think it also really explained the bond that Darius and Lance have, which I actually really liked. It's rare to see such intense intimacy between male friends in a dark romance book, and I really liked that. It's clear they care a lot about each other, which makes what happens to them that much more devastating.

I think this adds a lot to the series and it packs a surprisingly emotional punch, but it doesn't really feel like a ~complete~ narrative arc either, so for that I'm giving it a three.

3 to 3.5 out of 5 stars

Maybe I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have because I read it after I read the series? Also, I am always picky when it comes to novellas. I find it hard to really enjoy because it's so short.

This novella happens 4 years before the events of ZA. 14 years old Darius and the Heirs just awakened and spend one week at the Academy. In the meanwhile, Orion is worried about his sister. She is being weird and shady, and he is worried that she might be involved in something very dark with Lionel.

It was a nice addition to Darius and Orion's backstory, and it shed some light onto Clara's death and the way Darius and Orion came to be bounded, but since I've read the series up until book 7 already, it was nothing new to me. There was no big revelation or shocking twist.

Still, I enjoyed seeing the bond that was already there between Orion and Darius, and their loyalty to each other. As for Clara, I don't know if I was supposed to pity her and see her more as a victim, but it didn't work. I was not impressed by her and still don't like her.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t know this was out there until I was 5 books in. Did I feel like this was a game changer? Nah. Was it a gap filler? Completely.

I can never get enough of the Solaria world. This novella in particular was helpful for understanding what had happened with Orion to turn him into such a person that is in Zodiac academy. Good to know his and Darius backstory.

perfect novella

short sweet and exactly what a prequel novella is meant to be! Orion and Darius now have an unbreakable bond forced on them by Darius’s own father Lionel and i didn’t think i could hate that man more then i did in Ruthless fae but jokes on me! Orions mother is disgusting and hopefully meets the same fate her pore daughter did

Me alegró mucho saber que trataba de Darius y Orion, no de Lionel como pensaba. De hizo ameno y esta bien para saber un poco más de qué pasó antes de que llegaran las Vega

Prequel that adds some details about Orion and Darius plus Clara

It is nice to get a bit more information, but most of this book was covered in the main series. It is helpful to get some things as they happen, but the flashbacks and memories are enough if you want to skip this one.
