Zodiac Academy, The Reckoning (Book 3), Chapters 12-25 PART 2

“By the stars, Seth Capella is eating shit!” shouted Tyler Corbin, king of the class clowns and Backstreet Boys wannabees.  Welcome back to episode 16 of Whimsy, Spice, and Sometimes Nice, a spoiler-free, read-along romantasy podcast. Whether you're a first-time Solarian traveler or a greedy, slippery salmon back for seconds, you fit right in, bae. Madeline (the fan-girling, fast-talking, certified yapper) has read the whole series. And incessantly bugged Josie (the calm, cool professional hater) to start Zodiac Academy. Josie will be reading in real time with you. Providing initial reactions and predictions, while Madeline serves as the guide to help point you along in the right direction.  This is a uniquely formatted bookish podcast because we wanted to create a space where you can join the conversation and get in on the action WITHOUT having to finish the book, series, or ENTIRE universe!!!!  This week, we're covering chapters 12 through 25 of The Reckoning, book 3 of Zodiac Academy by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti, where we see what it takes to claim your place the best school in Solaria.
