Taylor's Reviews > Comet Rising

** spoiler alert ** Comet Rising is the stunning sequel to one of the fiercest middle grade fantasy novels today. It has all the charm and grandeur readers experienced in Shadow Weaver, and then some. The story follows Emmeline, a girl who can control shadows and thrives in the night, and her best friend Lucas who controls the sunlight, on their journey to find other children who are Comet-blessed in the hopes of rescuing Lucas’s parents who have been taken by the evil Lady Aisling and who could hopefully put a stop to her evil doings. Lady Aisling poses a huge threat to all who are Comet-blessed. She abducts them and turns them into flowers and plants them in her garden to use and abuse their abilities for her own power-hungry agenda. The more Lady Aisling uses a Comet-blessed child’s power, that child will eventually die. The two friends have an even bigger problem on their hands when Dar, Emmeline’s malicious shadow who is now detached from her, has escaped and is causing chaos and destruction during her own quest for revenge against her sister, who is none other than Lady Aisling herself!

With whispers of the adventure readers experienced in The Chronicles of Narnia and the friendship that we felt from reading the Harry Potter series, MarcyKate Connolly weaves a truly remarkable tale that not only touches the hearts of a younger audience but expands to people of all ages.
