gsarahthelibrarian 's review for:
There Will Come a Darkness
by Katy Rose Pool
I see why this is up for the Morris award--YALSA's award for a YA author's debut. But, whoa, I do wish she hadn't had so many chapters from different POVs. If I have to use a Post-It note with names and characteristics to remind me who is who, then I know many teens would abandon this book for its complexity. I really hope Book 2 focuses more on characterization instead of POVs, because that is what needs some fleshing out. If the characters had more distinct voices, then I wouldn't have been confused!
That said, I loved the world-building in this fantasy novel. Lots of prophecies and confused teenagers trying to save their world.
