Dark Rise by C.S. Pacat
4.0

EDIT: I think I liked it more the second time. (14/11/2023)

I liked this! ... I'm just surprised I didn't like it more???

The world-building was insanely good, the characters interesting and the writing captivating (I read the whole thing in just over a day!!)... but the middle felt really slow. THAT ENDING THOUGH!!! I need to know what happens next!

I will absolutely be recommending this series, as well as lining up to get Book 2 - I just wish that I have loved it a bit more (I was fully expecting it to be 2022 fave)... perhaps on re-read?
