Will the Guardians of Time find a way around the Goddess?
Isabel Becket
Isabel Becket returns as one of our point-of-view characters. This is because her other power comes in handy throughout the story. It's been a year since Marduke's death, in the last book, and Isabel tries to help Ethan out when Ethan has to train her brother Matt. Isabel is honestly a character with flaws, but she tries to get through them to become a better person. One of Isabel's flaws is she does things on her own because she thinks it will somehow get back to her father. Her greatest wish is that he will return. I like her determination of not wanting to stop finding Arkarian and to bring him back alive.
Arkarian
Arkarian is the other point-of-view character. As Arkarian is the one kidnapped, we can only see this other world through his eyes. Well, that is until Isabel, Ethan, and Matt go to get him. Arkarian has been alive for quite a while and wants everyone to succeed but not at the point of losing more vital members of the Guardians. He is a pretty selfless person, which I like about him, and he is protective of the people he loves. I didn't find much that I would say that I hated about this guy because even semi-immortal beings can get nervous around overprotective big brothers.
Five Stars
The Dark by Marianne Curley is a whirlwind of emotions that had me second-guessing everything I thought I knew about this series just from reading the first book. Especially about Arkarian. I loved every minute of reading this book. Ms. Curley has done another fantastic job with this one. My rating for The Dark by Marianne Curley is five stars, and I recommend it to anyone who loves reading young adult fantasy time travel books.
Off to read The Key next! I heard that it's going to be sad so wish me luck.
