![]() The second novel in Susan Cooper’s highly acclaimed Dark is Rising sequence. Will discovers that he has the power of the Old Ones, and that he must embark on a quest to vanquish the terrifyingly evil magic of the Dark. But there is an atmosphere of fear in the familiar countryside around him. ![]() It’s Midwinter’s Eve, the day before Will’s eleventh birthday. This night will be bad and tomorrow will be beyond imagining. Opening line: ‘Too many!’ James shouted, and slammed the door behind him. Having read it, I honestly don’t know if me and all those other people have read the same book. The second book is a Newberry Medal winner and appears on all the lists of best fantasy ever so I had high expectations. I started Susan Cooper’s The Dark is Rising Sequence and I found the first book quite nice. Last year, I decided to catch up on some classic SFF that I hadn’t read yet because it’s so easy to get swept away by new publications. ![]()
