About this deal

Should this book have been 4 stars instead of 5? Honestly, yes. Do I care? No. Having said that, this review will contain a healthy dose of both praise and criticism. Pascat writes this book in a way that is extremely reminiscent of older, more traditional fantasy. With the golden hero going on a journey of self discovery before saving the day, but thanks to the absolute bombs she drops throughout, this story becomes completely her own. I said it before and I’ll say it again, this book is bonkers. There were so many points when I thought I had the story down, I could see where it was going and felt comfortable in my assumption, and then Pascat would throw a pitch from left-field and completely upend my theory. But these weren’t spur of the moment twists that seemingly come out of nowhere, rather the so well woven into the plot ones that make you do a massive face palm wondering how you didn’t see it coming, and boy did I enjoy each and every one.

At the American International Toy Fair, Mattel unveiled figures for Batman, Bane, Catwoman, and Batman's flying vehicle, the Bat. The Mattel figures were also released in the "Movie Masters" line, featuring more highly detailed and articulated presentation, and Quiktek versions that feature interchangeable accessories.

[106]Dark Rise is the first book in a thrilling new YA fantasy series from bestselling Australian author CS Pacat. I wanted to like this book so much more than I did; the premise seemed promising, if tropey, and there were interesting parts: decent worldbuilding, nice depiction of 19th century London, the idea of an old world of magic clinging on in bits and pieces. But I didn’t find the characters very engaging and had trouble caring about them. The pacing was off, so the big twists at the end didn’t have the intended payoff emotionally and plot wise. And worst of all, the writing was so repetitive. I had to speed it up because otherwise it was excruciating to have the same things reiterated over and over (and there were many times I said aloud “yes we know this you’ve said it several times already”). The book really needed some tightening up so as not to get bogged down with repetition, and those extra words could have gone to more solid character and relationship development. It ended on a cliffhanger but I’m not frothing at the mouth for the sequel. Lee, Ann (June 16, 2011). "The Dark Knight Rises: Liam Neeson spotted filming in London". Metro.
