A review by lwhittle
The Dark Is Rising [Dramatisation] by Susan Cooper

dark mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

One of the best explorations of immortal/powerful beings of any fantasy I have read. Engaging, interesting, reminded me of the best parts of Neil Gaiman (with none of the lovable, but sometimes excessive, bloat).
