Dark Rise by C.S. Pacat
slow-paced
3.5
well certainly don't get attached to any character if you plan on reading this lol
this took me a while to get into, and I feel like if I hadn't read the synopsis I wouldn't really know what was happening. once I got into it, though, I was having a good time.
though one thing I just cannot get over is how quickly the relationships developed. it really felt like one page two characters will have just met and within twenty pages they're acting like they would literally take a bullet for each other. I think I'm supposed to imagine that time has passed within those twenty pages, but that was never clear. this is why I bumped it down from a 4 star to a 3.5
