A reader might not understand all that is happening or where. There are times the story gets confusing. The style of the novel fits within the time era that it is set in and when it does draw on other time eras, terms and ideas from them do come in.
The over all theme is the typical Good vs. The HUGE snowstorm, the kidnapping of Will’s sister, the flood. The struggles between the Light and the Dark affect the “real world”, ie. The story is set in the modern world (modern in 1974) in England. Will must find 6 signs in order to call the hunt to drive back the Darkness.
Old Ones are people can live forever to fight for the Light versus the Dark, which is seen in the Dark Rider. He is the 7th son of a 7th son, which makes him the Sign-Seeker.
The story focuses around Will Stanton, the last of the Old Ones. The Dark is Rising is the second book of the Dark is Rising Sequence.
