5/21/2023 0 Comments Trials of death by darren shan![]() ![]() ![]() He deals with pain and suffering head-on which is something unique compared to many other sugar-coated middle school novels I've read. Unlike most middle-school books, no one waved their wand to cure him. His trials are both difficult and painful - he loses his hair to fire, scrapes himself raw on another and nearly drowns to death in a third. While the other vampires do make some concessions, for the most part, Darren is thrown to the wolves. These trials are meant to for full vampires and Darren is only a half-vampire (and a young one at that). Either he manages to prove himself worthy of becoming a full vampire or his life will be cut extremely short. ![]() In this novel, we find Darren competing in the Vampire Trials. but there's a difference between ending the book with a bit of a cliff hanger.versus literally stopping in the middle of a story. I've noticed that Shan tends to end his books with a big TO BE CONTINUED. THIS IS NOT going to resolve anything of value ![]()
