loicavivaz 's review for:
Darkfall
by Janice Hardy
After a while I got a little tired of how every little single thing revolved around the main character. Not only was the main character approaching the world as if this were true (which is common enough among teenagers to be believable) but it was actually true of the world, and more power was accumulated in a single person than should be healthy and manageable.
There was still a lot of hatred between Baseeri and Gevegians that was talked about in extremely black and white ways with insufficient nuance. After the middle of book 2, this type of thinking was better pointed out as problematic, but not perfectly, and I wouldn't describe any of it as a healthy role model. A situation to observe, perhaps, but nothing to imitate.
Still lots of solid action, but less compelling moral dilemmas.
A pretty good series overall. Interesting premise, enjoyable, hard to put down, but not going to make my top recommendation lists.
