A review by mybooksarenovel
The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper

5.0

I don't know why I didn't read this as a kid. I would have loved it and read it many times over. Thankfully I have time to give this gift to my children.

A book that starts at Midwinter and ends on Twelfth Night with the rise of Evil in its midst. And the Evil may only be kept at bay and overcome by the Light.

I love that this series incorporates lots of Arthurian legend and myth. From relics to Hern the Hunter and the Wild Hunt, I was captured from beginning to end. I loved this book so much, and am enjoying reading through this series for the first time as an adult.
