really enjoyed dark rise. the plot twist was so good! it explained things very well and explained my unanswered questions and confusion.
james was probably the best character in this. i didn’t figure out until the middle/end that he was the ‘love interest’ though but that’s okay.
amazing cliffhanger ending, super excited to read book two.
Spoiler
like why Will was able to touch the stone and blade. why katherine was sort of attracted to Will and kissed him out of nowhere (rip).james was probably the best character in this. i didn’t figure out until the middle/end that he was the ‘love interest’ though but that’s okay.
amazing cliffhanger ending, super excited to read book two.

This book!!!!!
I didn't think I would fall in love with this book the way I did, but I did. I absolutely loved every single page of this book.
I've always enjoyed books where fantasy worlds existed in our own worlds, albeit a different era. And I absolutely loved the idea of Light battling the Dark.
The plot twists in this book were plenty and every single one surprised me. Although, the Big Reveal was something I had not seen coming! It was definitely unexpected and I didn't connect the dots until the Big Reveal.
The main characters were also fun to read about as well as the battle sequences, the magic, the lore, and the history.
I cannot wait for the sequel!
