Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

A novel titled "Dark Rise", okay. A plot that centers around the fight between the Dark and Light, sure, it's tried and true old classic. A group of (possibly immortal) people who stand watch as guardians for the Light? The protagonist named Will who is kinda the chosen one in the last great battle against The Dark alongside those guardians... wait a minute.

Like, I'm not saying C.S.Parcat is necessarily intentionally plagiarizing but she might have at least googled the title of her own novel. If I found out about a different YA fantasy classic that sounded just a bit too similar to what I wrote, I might have,idk, at least changed the protagonist's name, just in case.

What is it similar too?

Not OP. I had to do some googling but I found this series, which I think is what OP is referring to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Is_Rising_Sequence

I've never heard of it before though.

Oh, me neither. That's unfortunate if they did plagiarize though. :/

It's considered a middle-grade fantasy classic. If the author of this new book was going to plagiarize, she made a really stupid choice of books to do it to. This isn't going to fly under most radars.

Yeah it's not as widely known today as I'd like (because it's a lovely series) and as I said, I'm fairly sure it's not really intentional plagiarism but I'm baffled not even her editor or publisher noticed (if it's not self published that is).

wow I haven't even read the Dark is Rising books but that sounds plagiar-tastic to me

Wow if there's any King Arthur, Merlin, or just king-under-the-mountain type stuff going on I'd say Susan Cooper or her estate have lawsuit material.

That's what I thought. Even if it's unintentional, I personally would not want to risk this.
