Book Details:
Title: There Will Come a Darkness
Author: Katy Rose Pool
Publisher: Henry Holt and Co.
Release Date: September 3, 2019
Genres: Young Adult, Fantasy
Synopsis:
For generations, the Seven Prophets guided humanity. Using their visions of the future, they ended wars and united nations―until the day, one hundred years ago, when the Prophets disappeared.
All they left behind was one final, secret prophecy, foretelling an Age of Darkness and the birth of a new Prophet who could be the world’s salvation... or the cause of its destruction. As chaos takes hold, five souls are set on a collision course:A prince exiled from his kingdom.
A ruthless killer known as the Pale Hand.
A once-faithful leader torn between his duty and his heart.
A reckless gambler with the power to find anything or anyone.
And a dying girl on the verge of giving up.
One of them―or all of them―could break the world. Will they be savior or destroyer?
My Review: 4.25/5 ⭐
This unique novel revolves around five main characters, each with a different background, who have the ability to impact their magical world - but will they save it, or destroy it?
This was one of my most anticipated 2019 releases and wow it was so intense! The diverse cast is extremely engaging, and the mix of royalty, assassins, and other individuals will draw in a variety of readers, teens and adult alike. The mix of love, heartbreak, and action was well written, and I loved the sister bond between Beru and Ephyra.
I did find it was a bit confusing keeping up with the characters in the beginning, trying to figure out who was who and connecting with them. But once readers catch on, it is a fast paced read that will keep you hooked until the very end. I am still taking in all the twists and turns, and I know readers will be so excited for this one. For fans of dark YA fantasy and Six of Crows, I definitely recommend this novel!
