Obligatory Pinned Post
This is a side-blog where I'll be posting my observations, theories, and related notes while I do a thorough re-read of Dark Rise and Dark Heir by C.S. Pacat.
Prior to this I've only enjoyed the series via audiobook, and I have a tendency to get lost in the story, so it's easy for me to miss the cool little details and hints in the text. This time I'm reading the eBooks slowly, intentionally, making lots of highlights and notes, and sometimes researching things like the meanings of character names or the symbolism of motifs like the Hawthorn tree.
Since I'm posting as I go along, I'm likely to make some mistakes, especially where I misremember details from later on in the series. Feel free to point them out, and to add your own thoughts in comments and reblogs!
The Tags Masterlist in this post will be updated as I go along. [Some of the tags will be for posts I haven't yet published though, so don't be surprised if you click one and end up with a whole lotta nothing!]
Thanks for reading!
