The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper
3.0
Strange, lyrical, beautiful. I’m not sure what to think of this series, but I certainly want to see what comes next.
I know it’s not a new book, but it has this sort of ageless quality that I love. It reminds me most of the Charlie Bone books, so British and ordinary and a little bit mysterious. The characters are flawed and very human, upping the stakes further for young Will.
It’s a story of growing up and growing wise, acknowledging and facing the darkness in the world. I wish I read this when I was younger, I think these books would’ve made excellent companions.
