Thank you for giving me the chance to read this ARC. I chose to not finish this one after the fourth chapter. The world building was too detailed and confusing and there were too many point of views with background stories stemming from each person. The only character I cared about was Anton the bounty hunter who was on the run, but once I started the chapter of the monk in training (I can't remember what they are called in this fictitious world), I just didn't care anymore and was fatigued from trying to understand what was happening regarding each character.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I am not usually one for high fantasy, and I've seen books struggle with multiple main characters and multiple points of view, but There Will Come a Darkness does NOT disappoint. Each character felt like their own person driven by their own story, and the immediate world building sucked me right in, I couldn't put it down. Absolutely one of my top picks for YA in 2019.

This book was sooo good! I love books like this one so i devoured it once i started reading. It was never slow and constantly made you think. Awesome plot! I would tell all my friends to read this!

Holy heartbreak, damn. This was a very imaginative and action-packed read. The author did a great job balancing the POVs and developing the large cast of characters into strong independent people. I never confused one character for another which really let me get lost in the world and the story. I loved the twists and mystery that was integrated with the fantasy world and fast-paced plot.

I am a bit worried that the future books might drag... I can easily see this being a duology, but unless some really crazy things happen in book 2 I'm worried it will feel too stretched-out. But who knows? Book one was really great and shows a lot of promise for even more heartbreak and action. I'd definitely recommend!

A interesting debut novel that has a lot of character development and world building. A fantasy novel that brings mythology of different historical areas to life. The author does have a lot of characters and POV's which causes some confusion further into the novel. I do think young adults will devour this book up. It reminds me of a blend of Rick Riordan and Sarah J. Maas. Thank you to NetGalley, Edelweiss, and the Macmillan Children's Publishing Group.

Received an ARC that was a blessing and a curse....because now the wait for book 2 will be too long! Ensemble cast, excellent world-building, prophecies, betrayals, religious zealots, and more make this a must read this Fall!

I am so grateful to have been able to preview this book! This world grabbed me and sucked me in! This is an epic fantasy with corruption, greed and heartache. The character development seemed effortless and I cannot wait to read more in this series. I will be purchasing this for my library!

Right off the bat, this book sounded really interesting and I’m a complete sucker for that cover and title. Opening up the first chapter, the first couple of lines completely grabbed my attention and made my eyes widened and I smiled this crazy smile because something extreme just happened and oh my god! What and opening…. And then the confusion set it. The book itself was interesting and the writing was well done. It's definitely going to grab a lot of attention.
