Despre Dark Rise carte
In this stunning new fantasy novel from international bestselling author C. S. Pacat, heroes and villains of a long-forgotten war are reborn and begin to draw new battle lines. This epic fantasy with high-stakes romance will sit perfectly on shelves next to beloved fantasy novels like the Infernal Devices series, the Shadow and Bone trilogy, and the Red Queen series.
Sixteen-year-old dock boy Will is on the run, pursued by the men who killed his mother. Then an old servant tells him of his destiny to fight beside the Stewards, who have sworn to protect humanity if the Dark King ever returns. Will is thrust into a world of magic, where he starts training for a vital role in the oncoming battle against the Dark.
As London is threatened and old enmities are awakened, Will must stand with the last heroes of the Light to prevent the fate that destroyed their world from returning to destroy his own.
LikeV.E. Schwab’s A Darker Shade of Magicand Shelby Mahurin’s Serpent & Dove, Dark Rise is more than just high intrigue fantasy—it’s fast-paced, action-packed, and completely surprising. Readers will love exploring the rich setting of nineteenth-century London. This thrilling story of friendship, deception, loyalty, and betrayal is sure to find a passionate audience of readers.
Recenzii
Felt like a reimagined Harry Potter, but lgbtq+ and with less magic. Its got a chosen boy, a dark lord, a trio of teenagers solving misteries that the adults couldnt, even James reminded me of Draco - blonde, pretty and corrupted by adults to do the dark lords bidding although pure and well-intended at heart. Although full of plot-twists and much too delayed reveals that you can kinda guess if you pay enough attention (although hard because information keeps being repeated by most characters throughout the book), it is well written and kept me engaged. I honestly couldnt stop listening once i was about 50% in. I really liked this narration. The narrator makes sure to distinguish each character by adopting different tones and types of voices, so it was really fun to listen. Overall a great experience, fit for anyone who loves Harry Potter for the main theme of good vs evil, although Dark Rise offers more nuanced or rather grayish interpretations of good and evil.
