“For the dark is never truly gone; it only waits for the world to forget, so that it may rise again.” 

To say I was entranced by this book, would be an understatement. Dark Rise by C.S. Pacat was a mysterious and mystical read. Right up until the last page I was hooked, never really knowing what was going to happen and who could be trusted. And that plot twist!? Amazing! 

Pacat’s writing is stunning: the world building, the characters, the magic and the plot as a whole. I cannot wait to read Dark Heir and continue marvelling at this story!
