Jim Dale Audio's 2011:
Three and four have been in my head much lately, in relation to each other (even though I'm in the middle of listening to five). If three was 'the distant darkness,' four is the first time we're plunged into present darkness.
Oh the first three books hold of 'distant darkness growing' holds, fighting to keep obliviousness, even after the name is called, even through the first two challenges. Distracting us with school and Elves, and childhood rows, but the end of the book ...more

Not usually my style, but I can't imagine abandoning the story now, even temporarily!
