The series is intended for young adult readers, and I am amazed at how the story seems to grow as I do. I have found that every time I read this story, I take away a new piece of information I had previously missed. The first book was published in December of 2014, with the most recent book in the series being published just four years ago in 2018. With only 439 pages, Zodiac can be a quick read for an avid reader or a great book to pick up in your free time. Zodiac, along with the rest of the series, is not a difficult read. The advanced technology and the history connecting Earth to the story makes me wonder if humans could ever possibly achieve a similar fate. There are no inconsistencies or flaws in her design, making her fictional galaxy feel almost real. She details every aspect of a fictional society without forcing information upon the reader. Russell’s world-building abilities demonstrated in this series fascinate me. For example, Cancerians have a range of blue eyes and curly hair, while Librans all have blonde hair. The citizens of each House-the Zodiac civilizations- are also physically different. Each civilization has its own government, core value, and technology.
There are 12 different civilizations named after the different zodiac signs from Aries to Pisces, with a mystery surrounding an ancient 13th house. Zodiac is set in space, where people on Earth have colonized a galaxy in the distant past. The best thing I’ve found about having a poor memory is that I can be fascinated by the same story over and over again. This review will contain no spoilers for the first book nor the rest of the series. I have re-read it again and again, and find beauty in the story every time. Romina Russell’s Zodiac series has been a favorite of mine for years. My favorite genres are fantasy and sci-fi, along with mystery and occasionally historical fiction. I don’t talk about it much, but I love to read.
