Summary: Amazing!!!
Review: As soon as I read this, I wrote a letter to Marrianne Curley, telling her how wonderful this book is! I really can't wait for 'The Key' the next book in the series.

In this book, It is told in the perspectives of Isabel and Arkarian. It is even better than the last one, for a reationship between Isabell And Arkarian is now comming into full bloom. It also has a bit more of adventure, seeing as they go into 'the underworld' and a very surprising ghot just happens to help...overall, my FAVEORITE book of ALL TIME...so far...I suspect 'The Key' to be even better!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Even Better!
Review: First of all, read The Named. You can't read this book until you have read The Named, otherwise you might be rather confused. ^_^

The Dark is the second book in the Guardians of Time, and every bit as good as the first book! In fact, I'd say that The Dark even surpasses The Named. Written through the perspectives of Arkarian and Isabel, this book will take you on a wild journey through the evil depths of the Underworld; where Arkarian has been imprisoned and where strangely familiar ghosts wreak havoc on the nerves of many.

The thing I liked about The Dark is that, while some books have the plot written around the romance, Marianne Curley wrote the romance around the plot. The histories of the characters are even more deeply detailed than before, shedding light on some mysteries that The Named had just barely touched upon. And, again, the touch of romance is sweet.

In a world whose social structure is rapidly crumbling, the Guardians of Time have to work twice as hard to prevent the Order of Chaos. The Prophecy had spoken of a traitor in thier midst...

Mordaut's dead. Who has taken his place?

Summary: You've got to read it
Review: Hi! I'm 16 and i just read the Named then The Dark. I thought it was great because it lets you go off into another world and all the things that happen to the characters keep you on your toes. When you think that one thing is going to happen it turns out to be totally different! You've got to read it!
Happy Reading

Summary: Just as good as the first
Review: I cheated. This book came out in September in the UK so I ordered it from there. I was awesome, just as good as the first, and in some ways better. This time the story is told from both Isabel and Arkarian's point of view. I was disappointed at first, because I missed Ethan's perspective, but then I got into it...Romance between Isabel and Arkarian is there, it's very funny really, because they are both so clueless. Matt is now Ethan's apprentice, but is having some trouble...And for the first time we get to meet the goddess. Time travel is of course throughout the book, but things aren't looking too good for the guard. We learn more about Arkarian's past, and the ending is much like the first book's...and made me squeal with joy when I got to it. It was a great book, I've already read through it twice and I just got it 10 days ago, and it leaves me anticipating the third book even more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the dark
Review: I love this book. The named is good too. I can't wait til the third one comes out. I think the story is fascinating because it combines some things that happened in the past to what happens in the future and how its all connected. Isabel and Ethan make a good team.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Ok, but I liked the first one much better
Review: I loved the first book in this series, and read it several times while waiting impatiently for this one to come out. But when I got it I was dissapointed, this book was ok, and it was good to know that Isabelle and Arkarian were finally going to get together, but you also kind of knew it would happen, there were no suprises, but I did enjoy the fact that it happened. I also didn't really like how dark it was, dark books arn't really my thing, but thats a totally personal decision, and then again I should have been more than expecting it since the book is in fact called "the dark". Now I'm not saying not to read it if your a fan of the series, because it does answer alot of questions brought up in the first book, and also brings up some new ones to be answered in the third and final book, so that was nice. But I also wanted a little more time travel in this book, that was my favorite part of the first book, and in the dark they only go back one time, and it's not even historical or anything. This book mainly just establishes more of Arkarians past, and hints at more for the future. But read it, and I'm hoping that the next one will be even greater than the first, and alot better that this one.

Review: I loved this book so much! Does anybody know when the 3rd one is going to be published?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely great!
Review: I waited impatiently for The Named to come out, and when it finally did, I had to wait impatiently again for this book to come out. Believe me when I say that The Dark will not dissapoint fans of The Named and Old Magic. Once again, the characters of Isabel, Ethan, Arkarian, Matt, Rochelle, and many others from The Named come back for the second book of The Guardians of Time trilogy. Though the story is slightly predictable, you're bound to be surprised sooner or later. The plot has many twists and turns. However, I do wish that the book had a little more of Rochelle and Ethan, or anybody other than Isabel and Arkarian. Still, I really like this book. After finishing the book, you are left with many questions left unanswered that will probably be answered in the third book of the trilogy. So, I'll just have to wait again, until the trilogy is completed, and I can finally rest in peace.
