She suspects Ophiuchus-the exiled 13th Guardian of Zodiac legend-has returned to exact his revenge across the Galaxy. Then, when more Houses fall victim to freak weather catastrophes, Rho starts seeing a pattern in the stars. But, a true Cancrian who loves her home fiercely and will protect her people no matter what, Rho accepts. When a violent blast strikes the moons of Cancer, sending its ocean planet off-kilter and killing thousands of citizens-including its beloved Guardian-Rho is more surprised than anyone when she is named the House’s new leader. While her classmates use measurements to make accurate astrological predictions, Rho can’t solve for ‘x’ to save her life-so instead, she looks up at the night sky and makes up stories. Rhoma Grace is a 16-year-old student from House Cancer with an unusual way of reading the stars. I'm not sure if I'll read the second book, maybe I'll get around to it.Minor spoilers for Zodiac and Wandering Star.Īt the dawn of time, there were 13 Houses in the Zodiac Galaxy. The beginning and ending are packed with action, so maybe it evens out. Parts of the story were slow and seemed to be there to establish the various zodiac houses. Rho is also a bit naïve about other people's motivations and how politics work, but after being betrayed several times in this book, hopefully she's learned to trust no one. At times I thought she let people walk over her and wanted to see her stand up for herself. She's in a hard position, thrust into leadership but no one believes her about the looming threat. The world building was my favorite part, I feel like the author put a lot of time into it and it was fairly comprehensive. They have unique hair, eye, and skin colors along with different religious beliefs and ways of life. I've had a copy of this book for years and never got around to it, so I finally dove in! It's an interesting premise, the different zodiac signs are now races of human. She brings to life an already amazing story. Rebecca Gibel does a fantastic job narrating the story. I make long distance trips quiet often and enjoy listening to a book while driving. After reading the book initially, I decided to download the audio version. My personal favorite being Hysan Dax from house Libra. Meeting many people from each of the houses. Centered around 16 year old Rhoma Grace from the constellation Cancer, Zodiac takes you on a whirlwind tour through the Zodiac Galaxy.
Romina Russell creates this entire universe of different worlds and characters that are truly unique. Needless to say once I started reading it I couldn't stop. I originally purchased the book on my Kindle just a few days after its release on Amazon. As an amateur astronomer, when I saw the cover for Zodiac it immediately caught my attention. There's very few stories that really capture my full attention these days.
