Rendition To Books The Dark (Guardians of Time #2)
First of all, I have to say I am not a native english speaker so, please, I prefer to not be attacked, if I made any mistakes. Instead of do that, it would be nice if you corrected me, thank you :)
This book is the second book of The Guardians of Time trilogy (which is about to become a tetralogy in the future, yay). I have to say to not read this review on the app, because spoilers tags - that I always put- are removed and I don’t want to spoil anyone. If you are reading this review on your computer, go on. Of course there are spoilers for the ones that haven’t read the first book. Why are you reading a review of a second book in a series, you haven’t read the first, dear person I’m referring to you (go read the first).
The Dark tells the story after the events that happened previously on The Named. After Ethan killed Marduke and got his wings, a year passed by. Ethan is now training Matthew as his apprentice and everyone should be happy after the amazing happy ending we got at the end of the first book. Man, you are so wrong. I won’t say anything anymore or you’ll get spoiled.
+ While the first book is narrated by Ethan and Isabel, this one is told by Isabel and *rolls drums* Arkarian! The one and only almost-immortal-Ethan’smaster who actually is Isabel’s soulmate. One of my favourite characters, personally. Who doesn’t love this violet eyed and blue-haired guy?? I was so exicted to read his point of view. Anyway, it was good but not enough. I wanted more parts told by Arkarian and less by Isabel, to be honest. I would have preferred Ethan and Arkarian with some Isabel, actually. One of the things that I didn’t appreciate was, in fact, no Ethan point of view in this book. Look, I like this guy: he’s so all sassy and brave (more stupid-brave) and I related him to Percy Jackson.
+ Finally we learn something about The Goddness! She has only have been a sort of ‘ghost’ in the first book: everyone feared her, who fights against her, but actually she doesn’t appear and now she has showned up. We got to know more about her, which is a thing I really liked.
+ Aside characters are , in general, more developed than in the first installment of the series . Matt is more present, we discover more things about him and his bond with Ethan is more treated. Other characters like Ethan’s mom, Rochelle, (view spoiler)[Sera, (hide spoiler)] Matt and Ethan’s friend play an important role in the story.
+ Basically, this is dedicated to Arkarian or to the pairing Arkarian-Isabel . What about discovering more about Arkarian’s life and secrets? Would be wonderful, wouldn’t it? It’s all this book is about.
+ Marianne Curley hasn’t stopped surprising me. The plot twists are intense and amazing. (view spoiler)[One scene, in particular, left me speechless: when Lorian said to Arkarian “I’m your father.” What?! Such a Star Wars scene. I wasn’t expecting that. (hide spoiler)] In general, a lot of scenes and plot twists left me in a such of surprising state.
+ Although a few issues, this was a perfect second book of a series: while second books tend to be worse than the first, this wasn’t. So curious to read the third!

I liked the Dark, I don't have anything bad to say about it, but I don't really have anything spectacular to say either. The plot kept moving and the characters developed well. I liked that this book centered on Arkarian because he's the best to be honest. The Dark was a fun read, so that was a plus.Isabelle/Arkarian: I approve and I liked the way Lorian gave his approval in the end of the book (it might be a little much though? I dunno)Matt: He's extra-special now? Cool I guess.Rochelle: StillThis is more like a 3.5* The second installment in The Guardians of Time series was a lot more enjoyable than the first part, so I am glad that I kept going with the series. The Dark follows our heroes into a dark otherworld to rescue on of their own to try and regain balance and keep The Order at bay. It kind of goes to plan... As with the first book there were a number of "plot twists" that I was able to work out before they were revealed so the shock factor was missing for me. Still, this was
I love how much more this installment dives into the characters, especially my favorite, Rochelle. The journey throughout the mountain remains one of the most suspenseful things Ive ever read. Definitely a fav.
I love this series. Ive read them so many times but I always enjoy this book, how everything unfolds with the characters weve fallen in love with.
Another brilliant book in the series

This is good, probably my least favorite of the triliogy but definitely a page turner.
