oh my god! How good can it get!
when i read the named i couldn't wait to get the dark so i could continue the story of ethan and isobel - two characters i had come to like. The dark is suspenseful and intriguing full of humour and love and loyalty. A brilliant sequal to the named. It picks up on Arkarians and Isobels viewpoints and expertly tells a love filled, emotionful, loyal,loving,exciting and intriguing tale of a fantasy story that could actually be happening and we just haven't realised it. If i could give it more than 5 stars i would. Again Marianne Curley takes my breath away with her superb sequel the dark - so good it kept me up half the night because i couldn't put it down!

Read it. Read it noooow.
This is the second book in the Guardians of time trilogy, and it's even more explosive than the Named! If you are a fan of teenage fantasy you NEEEEED to read this book.It's smart, funny, thrilling and impossible to put down. I can't wait for the Key to come out!

One Word : WOW!!!
After reading 'The Named' about two years ago, i was convinced no other book could compare to it. Yesterday, while browsing in my local Ottakar's i came across this title, 'The Dark'. I cannot explain to you my suprise and excitement when i turned it over and read 'Sequel to The Named'. I started reading it last night and did not put it down until the early hours of this morning and am now very happy to admit just how wrong i was. 'The Dark' is without a doubt the best book i have ever read, with a magical mix of history, adventure and unfathomable love. I would recommend this not only to experienced readers, but also others who are not keen readers. Prepare to be taken on a journey you will never forget! But dont be disappointed once you have finished reading 'The Dark', its sequel and concluding book in the trilogy, 'The Key' is due to be published 7th February 2005!!!!

Happy reading!
