Relation In Favor Of 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!

This is good, probably my least favorite of the triliogy but definitely a page turner.I loved it but I got upset with Ethan and attitude with everything
Another brilliant book in the series
I did really like this book but I really missed seeing the story from Ethan's perspective. Arkarian is cool and all but he was cooler when I couldn't see inside his head and maintained that air of mystery. Also the whole love story between Arkarian and Isabel seemed a little forced. I know they're "soul mates" or whatever but it was like suddenly Isabel was head over heals for Arkarian after just being in love with Ethan in the last book. Anywho Arkarian's inner thoughts about Isabel also took
Another nice re-read from childhood. It felt a bit lacking in character development (some aspects of side characters where just dropped from thin air), but the plot is interesting.
I haven't read book one, so wasn't too sure if I would get into this book or not. Writing style is first person and present tense, not read many books like this before. Normally the first person books I have read seem more past tense as if telling a story of what has happened, rather than what is happening. Took a little time to warm to this style of writing, and even once I finished I was still a bit unsure if it's something I would get used too.The book starts out with the Goddess of Chaos,
not good
