I've done a bit of a bad job explaining what this series is about in previous posts, so I suppose now is the best time to do it. As long as the world has existed, the forces of Dark and Light have fought to win control over it. Though each has waxed and waned in power, neither has ever won. Several teens learn about this fight and join in to help the Light gain an advantage.
The more I get into this series, the more I enjoy the representation of Cornish culture. I have Cornish ancestry, but like most Americans, I know little about Cornwall. This is such an unexpected, unique element to learn about through an old middle grade fantasy series!
This book really blends the first and second book together, which makes the whole series feel more unified in following a specific direction. So in this book you get to see all the favorite characters from the first and second books.
This book felt thrilling in new ways. It was scary but satisfying to see the dark win here and there because it made the threat feel more real.
The first two books feel a bit dominated by male characters, so I really liked that this one had it's moment of letting a girl be the most important. I also LOVED that it included empathy and kindness as the most powerful elements. It raised some interesting ideas about power.
This is the shortest book and my least favorite so far, but I must admit that it felt very necessary to accomplish everything that this book did. I'm excited to see where the series goes.
