“Great ending to one of the greatest series from my childhood. Haven't read it in twenty years. Enjoyed it just the same. Highly recommended (start with THE DARK IS RISING).”

“This series held great promises with book 2, The Dark is Rising. However, it went down hill from there, although this one is better than the last two. It's very mysterious, dream-like and magical...and kind of "meh."”

“I know I have read this book before, but I couldn’t remember anything about it. As I reread, I think the problem is the concept that the characters will be shown what to do when the time comes, which comes up repeatedly. That leaves us nothing to anticipate. Obstacles are not threatening when we have no idea where we are going anyway. The goal (a crystal sword) is very vague as is why it is important (to help the light) so although individual scenes may be very beautiful, there is no driving force behind them to make them memorable. Instead of being the climax, I found this the weakest book in the series.”

“So much to love. I think I checked it out from the library at least 5 different times so I could re-read it. On the first time through, though, read the whole series in order. Much more understandable that way.”
