The Dark Is Rising (The Dark is Rising, #2)The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I honestly enjoyed this 1973 YA fantasy. I was also rather surprised that we didn't get to follow the kids from the first book, instead falling into Will's headspace as he discovers he's one of the Old Ones.

Lots of magic and dark atmosphere here, but let's not forget just how much English folklore is jammed within these pages. Forces of light and darkness is just a single part of it.

I came into this assuming it was a fantasy classic, and so far, I haven't been disappointed.
