DARK AGE

darrow and his struggles will become the struggle of your own conscience and your perspective of whats wrong and whats right

These books have affected me deeply. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Can't wait for book 6!

Good book. I think its the 5th in the series . Will buy the next after reading

The book deals with some intense themes but if you can stomach it, Dark Age reaches the levels of Dune and Ender's Game in its storytelling. The book's title clearly refers to an age of strife and destruction and I'm surprised readers are shocked by this after following the series for this long that the violence and themes are more like GRRM's works than any young adult book. My only complaint is that Lyria makes an annoying comeback and those chapters are average at best. This book harkons back to Golden Son from the previous trilogy with unexpected twists and turns in a plot which ratchets up the tension in each conflict. The light of hope is duller this time around with several lead charecters jaded by the violent consequences of their actions. I can't wait for the sequel to turn up the hope after this ride into pitch black similar to how Morning Star brought hope after the the massacre in the end of Golden Son.

Story was not coherent. Rather than introducing new characters, old characters were recycled. Lyria arc was absolutely unreadable. Felt like I was betrayed after following Darrow’s journey this far.
