Post from the The Fallen and the Kiss of Dusk (Crowns of Nyaxia Book 4) forum
Soooo somehow I was able to get this book earlier? And you don't understand how excited I am to read it đ And see some cameos of other characters!! I'm not sure if I remember everything from the previous book, but I'm trusting my memory to remember the important bits and hopefully it will all make sense

I was not familiar with your game Sir Jay Kristoff and the pain you like to inflict on your readers, but here I am wanting more after finishing this book. This was honestly a whole trip and I loved how many layers the story had. The plot is so well built, everything is connected in a way that we donât see until itâs revealed to us, so many plot twists that literally had me go back into certain parts of the story in a âhow did I not see this comingâ way that really just keeps you on the edge of your seat, cause you never know when the story might get crazier than it already is. Loved the fact that we see Gabrielâs story literally from the beginning, how and why everything happened and how he himself changed with what was happening around him. He was such an interesting character with the mentally of doing good not because he had to or because people saw him as a hero, but because he did whatever he wanted and that happened to end up being something good. How strong he was, both physically and mentally, despite what he had to go through and how, for a long time, he was seen as less but he still fought nonetheless. He still had his flaws, and I liked how not perfect he was, but he was always true to himself. The narration style, while it kinda threw me off at the beginning, became so interesting and you get used to it so quickly, it almost feels like someone is telling you a bed time story (with a lot of gore and death but whoâs counting the details). Even the back and forth of the different timelines became important to the story, considering what we would learn and how that would change how we viewed the story. Now, there were three characters that really stuck with me and that I need to highlight. The very obvious one: Astrid. As soon as sheâs introduced in the book, she makes such a first impression that I knew right away I was gonna be obsessed with her. The way sheâs true to herself? How confident she is? How she doesnât hide what she feels and says what she wants to say? Even though her romance with Gabriel was a small part of the book, it was still such a sweet love story. I do wish we got to see more of her, because of how important she is to Gabriel I thought there would be more scenes with her, and I honestly just wanted to know more about her in general. Chloe, my sweet sweet Chloe. She was kind, caring, sweet, and her friendship with Astrid and Gabriel was so heart warning, I loved seeing how much they valued each other and cared for each other. She was everything, but had one very strong flaw and that was that she believed too hard. She had her beliefs, religious or not, and no one could convince her otherwise or show her different. Dior though? Went from just being there to probably being my favorite character. Very similar personality to Gabriel in terms of being strong minded, caring for other people and wanting to do whatâs right. The friendship Dior and Gabriel build was so sweet, even considering both of their pasts, that it made me so happy to see them care for each other. I bawled my eyes out reading this book, but with those last few chapters, Iâm so excited and curious to continue the series!!

I used to rate books with ".25" and ".75" stars (especially on StoryGraph) but now in my opinion 3.25 can just be 3 stars and 3.75 can just 4 stars. And in pagebound i think its nice to not confuse myself with this bc here it's only .5! What do you think?

Has anyone heard of or used this site before? It does seem legit with positive reviews, but I always like to get as many opinions as possible. If it is, that would be amazing because most of the prices are really good and they have a series I've been looking for for years (plus other books not available in South Africa).

I'll go first. They make me feel so guilty low-key. Like I feel like I always need to chug through it no matter what. Because I always have that "It might get good. You never know" feeling in the back of my mind so I'm so scared to DNF. I feel like I would rather chug through and hate it rather than DNF and be at peace. I just need to know fully. And eventually I get to like 50% and I feel like I put too much time into it to DNF. So I just keep going.
