Want to Read all about darkness u should read this book it's full of cool things the other leaves u hanging when u stop reading It is awesome

Really great book about not giving up hope. I loved it so much and I loved the plot twists and surprises. This book is about a two friends who discover that there is a way out of their dying world and they work hard to find their way out of it. I warn you though, this book ends very abruptly, so you will want to have the sencond book right away.
