A review by avesmaria
The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper

3.0

Some aspects of this book were so stirring and atmospheric, and some… felt so unfinished or anticlimactic. Conflicts were summarily dissolved without feats, explanations, or suspense by random third parties. True peril or any real description or explanation of either the good or evil powers felt nonexistent. I’d say I was expecting too much from a kid’s book, but I’ve read plenty that don’t have this issue. I’m interested in the world, but probably won’t read any of the other books in this series.
