Genuinely so pleasantly surprised over how much the writing quality has improved from Riftborne. Feels like a major step up in pretty much every way. I really struggled and didn't overly enjoy Riftborne, but the story was interesting enough for me to get through. I wasn't going to continue the series until I've been seeing The Ascended everywhere and it's recommended to finish Duskbound before starting so I was very concerned, but wow. The writing is tighter, the pacing is smoother and flowing better, and I'm having so much more fun with this cast of characters. There's even magical creatures!!
For those of who may have DNF'd or didn't like Riftborne like me, please give Duskbound a try, there's a recap at the beginning of the book so you don't have to re-read Riftborne.

lol why was the recap so much more interesting and less convoluted than the entirety of the first book 🤣
