I’ve finally started my first Wattpad story! “Please, Don’t Die in Lethe Lake” is my first dark fantasy short story about a hydrokinetic (manipulation of water) mage with a disability that he was embarrassed about most of his life, but also became one of his greatest inspirations for being a researcher in the elemental sciences. When he keeps hitting dead ends, an unexpected visitor helps him make a breakthrough in his research. If you’re a fan of the following, I would love your feedback: #occultism #occultacademia #darkacademia #darkfantasy #horror #gothichorror #psychologicalhorror #occult #magic #elementalmagic #witchcraft #occultresearch #occultscience LINK IN BIO I’m still very new to this platform, but I look forward to how this will turn out. Luckily, there are a lot of inspiring writers here. Perhaps I’ll finally stop being so reclusive and try to be more actively be part of a creative community.

Not trashing Ninth House or the author by any means, especially knowing Bardugo has so many fans and so many love her work. I thought the setting was enchanting and did my best to simply enjoy the atmosphere and the characters therein who have different backgrounds. I also did my best to let go of the need for a fast-paced plot, accepting that this was more than likely a slow burn with splashes of horror to come. Yet, even after all that, I just couldn’t finish it. It’s become a dark/occult academia staple, at least it seems that way, but it’s not doing it for me after being nearly 100 pages in and struggling to push further. But all my love to Bardugo still. Her Grisha-verse made my teen years less stressful. 🖤 The review is by chai from GoodReads who gave a fair, thorough, and honest review. It helped me and others feel less alone in the sea of glowing reviews. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2492981005 Have you read Ninth House?
