A review by suzjustsuz
Rising Darkness by Shannon Mayer

3.0

I probably would have gone to 4 stars with this one, but I feel like this is the point in the series where not having read the novellas and the Elemental series becomes a problem. I would recommend that someone who wanted to get the most out of this series stop reading it at book 8 and then go read the others before continuing.

I very much felt like I was missing huge chunks of the story because I hadn't read the other series and the shorts.
****************
Actually listening to the audio (which isn't currently listed on GRs) and am finding that I feel like I missed a book. There is a novella in between this book and the prior book and I'm thinking it's probably pretty necessary for continuity sake although I haven't read it yet.

I just feel like I missed critical plot points.
