The Dark is rising in its last and greatest bid to control the world. The servants of the light: Will Stanton, the last of the Old Ones, the mysterious Professor Merriman, and the strange albino Welsh boy, Bran, are helped by three ordinary children in this last desperate battle.

This was weird... with the Drew kids, Bran and Will all in the same book, this had the potential to be the best of the lot... instead it was the worst. I'm not even sure I got the hang of all that happened, because my attention kept wandering and I constantly had to force it to come back.

I know Will is the main character of the series, but I never warmed up to him at all. I don't dislike him, I just couldn't care less. Which is probably why - looking back on the sequence - "Over Sea, Under Stone" is my favourite of the lot.

But at least now I've finally finished them.
