C- Cassie

My brainrot rn.
Also Khaos and Cassie did served.

Darkland revolves around our character Cassie, who's trapped in this place, with no memories or whatsoever, she has to win the trials and escape. Which is what everyone's motives are. Until Khaos 'a fucking clown' comes along.

I do not have many words to describe this book. Laura Vega's second book, and this book was actually good. I also would like to thank her for giving me an arc 💌 copy in exchange of nothing! which was so sweet of her honestly♥️ and also being her ST member🤭.

The artwork is so beautiful, the trials places, even Cassie and Khaos, and Morvax too, I loved their artwork and the way they are described here too was so much better!

The plot was very well written to me, but of course there is more plot and depth in the book and I'm like 😀. Because I have to wait for the second book (im)patiently. I was very well interested with the writing style. Even though in the starting I was so hesitant, and someone felt a bit odd to me, maybe because it's like where the readers are mentioned in spotlight haha.

Cassie is a strong stubborn character, and even if she forgot her memories, her heart would remember her always by nature. This book goes on with the future and past perspectives, making it delve on her memories. Of course everything is not what it seems?!?! And I'm left wanting for more because what was that?!?! What In the World is happening rn.

Khaos, well I have no words for him, I certainly liked him more than anything, but the ending!?! I'm so unsure about him, and what to do with him like what?!? I'm well surprised and shocked. He's like a sunshine character too. I loved reading about him.

Well Cassie and Khaos together were well written, I loved their chemistry, even though the 'Almost Instant Love' trope didn't fit me quite right. But I absolutely loved the banter they had, often said things that made me laugh and giggle. The ending of this book of course as mentioned earlier, left me wanting for more. I was very well surprised, I expected much of that, but it was done even wayyy more. So I enjoyed this book.

There are so many characters such as Sylrae, Keele, Ella, Charlie that we are introduced all to and I certainly was curious about them all. They all are having a certain story that is kept to themselves, and then revealed eventually [or is it?]. I also finished this book like in 2-3 days, but I was also invested like whenever I would put it off and sleep [because of my extra classes] this book would revolve around me and I would try my best not to think much more or else I would have never slept haha.

The only reason I haven't rated it five is because the depth to me was a bit light[it wasn't THAT light btw.], as if depending on the detailing, I'm pretty sure it's actually alright, but I wanted a bit depth moreover at the end and in the dark memories, the instant love 'almost' trope.

But don't let my oddness fool you, I loved this book a lot still!
Would I recommend it? If you loved Phantasma, and Caraval sort of books, I would say this book will absolutely suit you! With enchanting artwork, trials and betrayal, this book will take you on an another level. It releases on 1st April.

.preread. [soon!]
