I’m so enamoured by this series and its world and characters!! 🖤 A few of the characters failed to intrigue me in Dark Rise, but now I’m invested in all of them and loving all the different plot points and arcs!
I’m considering giving Captive Prince another try after this. I read it a while back and didn’t care enough to continue, but I need more C. S. Pacat!!
Is Dark Rise only going to be a trilogy? 🥺 I need more books!

Seeing books I've read on my main feed and getting to curate "My Taste" of books has increased my desire to really focus on reading the books I genuinely think I'll love!
I'm sure there are others like me who often battle the mentality of reading books we "think we should read" vs ones we're super curious about. It's very easy, and I think a natural human tendency, to want to read what's currently or historically popular - even if it's not something we'd naturally gravitate towards ourselves. I read almost every genre so it's easy for me to get swept along trying to keep up with all the hypothetical books I want to read lol, so I am working on practising more refinement.
Basically!! Ramble aside, I realise seeing other users' reactions to books I loved is motivating me to continue choosing books I'm most excited about and DNF more freely ones that aren't interesting me, because honestly I wouldn't care to see them on my home feed lol (I do mute books ofc). Additionally, getting to curate my taste shelf is so fun! :)
Anyone else feel a similar way?

Does anyone know why we can't un-join quests if we've already got a badge? (according to FAQ).

My obsession with James since his first appearance in Dark Rise though… I’m really no better than the Dark King. 🫠

I was gripped from the beginning and remained fascinated with the world, characters and plot throughout. I read the latter 50% in one day because I couldn't stop reading!
I will say I did predict quite a few twists, but rather than be disappointed, I loved how C. S. Pacat interlaced foreshadowing into the plot - it will definitely make for a fun reread!
Some characters didn't grow on me (Katherine, Elizabeth), whereas others I am utterly OBSESSED with (that last chapter was everything to me!!).
I did recognise a few derivatives from other fantasy books, but I feel like so much of fantasy (or any genre really) has them and it didn't impact my enjoyment of this story.
Overall this book consumed me; I'm now reading Dark Heir and scared for my life!!

I FEEL SICK!!! That final chapter was a masterpiece and is making me so scared for how Dark Heir will end, because everyone is warning me about its cliffhanger and no publishing news of book 3. I knew the risks and chose to put myself through this... no regrets (so far). Also the way a reread of this book will hit so different! I can't even form enough coherent thoughts to write a review rn. 🫠
