But even through these notions I really enjoyed how the author didn\u2019t have a constant of who the directed \u201cleader\u201d was in the group.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever situation was presented to them at the time, the name \u201cleader\u201d fell upon whosever&#8217;s skills or past helped them in that moment. For example, because Brian has experience in the wilderness, he mainly took charge in these situations.&nbsp; We see this as a recurring theme whenever the time is right: Brian having resourcefulness and thinking quick on his feet as a strength; Coco, being athletic, brave, and sympathetic; Ollie remaining authoritative, cool-headed, and focused; and our newest addition &#8211; Phil being cooperative and courageous.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another recurring theme I noticed is how Arden really helps the readers understand what\u2019s going on as she references the other two previous books: Small Spaces and Dead Voices.&nbsp; This was extremely helpful to me because Dark Waters is book three  in this trilogy and I did not read the two that came before this. It really gave me an understanding and helped me comprehend what had happened previously.&nbsp; This book is truly amazing and the writing is impeccable, although this book is just fiction (or is it?). If I didn\u2019t know better I\u2019d say it was real, with her incredible writing it makes this story really believable.&nbsp; Overall, if you are looking for a thrilling novel that\u2019ll send chills down your spine, <em>Dark Waters<\/em> by Katherine Arden is the book for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book review by Meah This book was nerve-wracking and thrilling to read &#8211; constantly keeping you on the edge of your seat as you read through the chapters.&nbsp; It displays what people do and who they become when presented with these chilling, emotional, and terrifying situations.
