The evil world expected me to curl up in the corner like a seashell—silent and small and breakable—forgetting that a seashell held the roar of an entire ocean inside it. I didn’t need a voice, only my teeth and my dreams to save me.”I am sad. For all the wrong reasons. This could have been so great, with an addictive Trick as backbone, a magical island, a hate to love theme and the cruel treatment of “fools” taking center stage. It had the recipe for a beautiful and very thrilling read. If only it had been done right.I have never seen the movie, but from what I can tell this was similar to Blue Lagoon. It certainly had the same elements with a boy and a girl being trapped on an island with no way off it, and a growing attraction and curiosity of each other’s bodies. Me being a romance junkie that should have been the perfect fix. It was not. While the book was very beautiful in the way of writing, metaphors and great messages being delivered, it dragged with not much really happening. Since it took place on an uninhabited island the plot couldn’t depend on anything other than Flare and Jeryn for the plots progress. Being only the island, it’s animals and nature and the main characters the biggest focus was, or rather should have been, the developing relationship between Flare and Jeryn. That didn’t really happen for a very long time though.I could tell that the author was really sold on the idea of Isle of Lost Rain, because that was almost prioritized before the romance. Description after description was thrown out about the strange island and both Flare and Jeryn was enamored with it in their own very different ways. Instead of them exploring each other’s personalities and being forced by proximity to get to know and thaw their hate for each other, they explored the dangers and wonders of the isle. While I enjoyed the originality of an magical deserted island I got bored with it when the story seemingly was mostly about developing a relationship with the island rather than between the only characters there was.When things finally started to happen between Jeryn and Flare it was unsatisfying and underwhelming when considering their solar opposite personalities and dislikes of each other it should have been explosive in the least. The pacing took that away, because as a reader I wasn’t really allowed or given the room to experience the developing feelings between them. That development was only recapped when the story jumped in time from months to years, and it had an annoying habit of doing so throughout the book.Because of said jump in time they went from dislike to love from seemingly nowhere. There were some written out moments where I got to be there and see them work things out and learn to understand each other’s differences and those moments were great, but few and far in between. It did not help me get behind the love they suddenly had for each other. While it had been years for them, it had only been minutes for me and that is the danger in recapping and jumping in time. If not done right you will be where I am, not following the story with satisfaction and not falling in love with the relationship because it went from point A to point B without you seeing it. Their growing affection should have also shown the change in personality, but as with the love, Jeryn went from hating fools to feeling guilty and wanting to change the world for them with the snap of my fingers. It felt a bit unrealistic that he had such a big change of heart when I didn’t get to see how he had that change of heart.The book of course had redeemable qualities as well. I loved Flare’s explosive and lively personality as well as Little Knight (need I even explain why?). I loved to see Poet and Briar again, to experience their lovable bickering and Poet’s quirkiness. On the downside that also showed the lack of that quirkiness and oomph in Flare’s and Jeryn relationship, being undeveloped by the story’s many jumps. That also being why I couldn’t really see Poet, Briar and Jeryn becoming and being friends all of a sudden. The sad part is that all this could have been avoided if the dragged out beginning would have been used for this, to progress and develop all of these things naturally.Loving Trick so much I am disappointed with how Dare turned out. Perhaps my expectations were ridiculously high though. After all, I didn’t hate Dare. It had its beautiful moments as well as beautiful, if slightly hard to follow, writing. In the ending I did enjoy Flare and Jeryn together. I just didn’t love them the way I loved Briar and Poet together. Hopefully Dare was just a fluke and Lie will be just as charming as Trick was. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ YESSSS. A brilliant fantasy-romance novel. *by R***0 on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2019* My heart and mind are full after experiencing this achingly beautiful love story led by richly drawn strong main characters, who possess complex but opposing motivations that inspire brave or instinctual actions. These actions create dramatic circumstances that catapult them along a unique and extraordinary path. As a reader, I am fulfilled and spent.This is how you write the perfect enemies to lovers story. And excellent fantasy. Best of all, this is how you write ROMANCE! I am so grateful for these feelings inspired by Natalia Jaster’s writing.The first paragraph in the book hooked me. Read the Amazon sample and you’ll understand what I mean. Prisoner heroine Flare’s utter hatred toward the hero, Prince Jeryn, before she even knew him, was a palpable thing. In turn, Jeryn’s contempt for Flare fuelled his actions that incited her fervent revulsion. The cycle might have continued forever, but for the “journeys”.There are many levels of “journeys” in this novel. The hero’s journey to the kingdom where the heroine is imprisoned; the journey: to a magical island; from ignorance to knowing; from hatred to love; from the comfort of the world we know to the ‘waking up’ to the propaganda ruling one's life and becoming an advocate for fighting it. Also, there’s the writer’s journey – Natalia Jaster – wow, what a brave talent.I loved the slow-burn, realistic pace of this couple getting-to-know-each other and the environment. It was easy to immerse myself in this adventure and become intimately knowledgeable of how the hero and heroine’s minds worked and I loved that the environment too played an important role in their romance. Because I knew them so well, the natural progression to a physical relationship was a wanted and welcome element to their love. The love scenes were tastefully and heart-stoppingly described without the explicit pornographic flavour modern writers find irresistible these days.And what a love they shared! They left me breathless without clichés. I have been reading romance for several decades, and I could not have predicted the path this couple’s love would take them. I hope they make cameo appearances in the forthcoming novels in this series. Bravo Ms. Jaster, you won over my fantasy-romance seeking heart as I fell in love with your characters.This was my first Natalia Jaster novel, even though it is second in the FOOLISH KINGDOMS series. It didn’t matter that I read it first as it stands alone. However, I have now read the first book in the series, TRICK (5 stars in my opinion), and believe the reading experience is enhanced if you read the books in order.The author has produced a free publication, FOOLISH KINGDOMS OUTTAKES, available on her website. It contains further epilogues or outtakes for each stand-alone story in this series. I recommend that you seek that out for a DARE further epilogue. It’s beautifully bittersweet.I highly recommend DARE (and TRICK) and look forward to more from Natalia Jaster. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not what I expected, great book nevertheless *by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2019* ** spoiler alert ** I admit, I write this review with a huge delay since I actually read the book. It is not because I would not want to review it, but because the book left very strange feeling in me.I love Natalia's lyrical style of storytelling. Also I love that she is not afraid of giving her characters disabilities, real flaws or making their relationships develop in unconventional way. I was mesmerized by Trick and that may be why I was a tiny bit-is disappointed by my experience with Dare. However in the hindsight, I know exactly why and I want to assure everyone that the book itself is definitely not bad.At first, I love the depiction of Summer kingdom, how it was different enough from the spring, yet equally well-written. I was intrigued by the trade, by the cold in Jeryn, by Flare's escape.... But then, Jeryn and Flare ended on the island and the story became so slow. I understand that this is what happens with any description of two people and one frog during several years, but thats why I was not so excited about the book during this part and that is why I read it for so long. To be fair, the slow tempo is the most logical thing which could happen and I would never wished for Flare's and Jeryn's romance to go faster or more intense just for sake of faster pace.Speaking of the romance line, I enjoyed Jeryn's arc and final actions. I almost cried when I read about the event from their childhood and I am happy that they got their happy ending, even though its in long distance mode for now (?). However I believe that this degree of freedom is exactly what Flare needed to taste in her life and it is just another reason why I like Natalia's books. Because she is not afraid to write the depth of real life diversity into them. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/63567762-dare-foolish-kingdoms-book-2](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/63567762-dare-foolish-kingdoms-book-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
