book 1: DARKNESS RISING
Sep 27, 2020labraden rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
The Gathering is the first of a series of three books. I had some trouble with this book because I kept wondering when I was going to get to the real story. By the time I finally got to the meat of the story, the book abruptly ended in the…

Omggggggg SUCH A GREAT BOOK :D I read the Darkest Powers series, and it honestly wasn't enough for me, THEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT DARKNESS RISING. This series is far better with many intriguing characters that keep me entranced. I. Just.…

The idea started off quite nicely and I truly enjoyed visualizing the scenes and the characters. There was enough detail to picture main ideas but also enough room to leave the imagination to do its work. I really liked how the idea of a…

Although I am enjoying the uniqueness of the story for the first book of this Darkest Rising supernatural series I did enjoy the characters in Kelly Armstrong's Darkest Powers more. I found I could not put the 3 books in the Darkest Powers…

The book was an okay read. The beginning, middle and ending were all very slow and honestly, the last few pages were the only good parts. The overall plot was poorly established and it was very predictable.

A good book overall, but I am not a fan of the cliffhanger.

ends in a cliff-hanger that leaves you hungry for the next book, and more of Armstrong's amazing and unique writing style. Has a different concept, that will make you think about your actions, and how perhaps animals aren't so different…

I am always on the look-out for Canadian writers and though I normally try to give them some leeway, I generally end up expecting more of them. I hold Canadians to a higher standard. Generally, they come through. Keeping in mind this book…

This book was great! I loved the suspense and the build-up to the climax, but the book seemed overly similar to Kelly Armstrong's other book, The Summoning, which I think I liked a bit better. But The Gathering was great standing alone!

Very nicely written. I've also read the "Darkest Powers" series, and there are a few references to the books in this book. Ends in a nice cliff-hanger, so I've already put a hold on the next one. :)

Sooooo good!!! I am anxiously waiting for the next. So many questions and I hope the next book delivers the answers to at least some of them.
