Good book so far. Is different from the first two in the series. I felt it was a little harder to get into at first because the first two books of the series revolved around Maraed and this one focuses on Hem. So it takes a little getting used to walking side by side with a whole new character.Like everyone else I was not excited to hear that the third book wouldn't be focusing on Maerad but instead her brother Hem. Luckily this book did not disappoint.First of all in certain ways this story was better than the first two. When it came to the story it was so much more darker and gruesome. This helped me truly understand why the evil had to be stopped. My other point is that the writing goes by much easier. I didn't have to struggle through giant paragraphs full of detailed world
Oh, so something surprising happened here. In Book 3 of this epic fantasy series, the narrative shifts to that of Hem, Maerad's younger brother, and you know what? His story is MUCH more interesting. I raced through this book, when, despite my liking for the previous instalments, I found myself plodding at times. It's quite the puzzle -of course it's more fo your standard boy-hero-quest story - and yet Hem's adventures are far more compelling; the characters more vivid, my investment as a reader
The Crow is very different from the first two books of the Pellinor series. It switches completely to Hem's point of view, going back to follow him through his experiences adjusting to the School in Turbansk, coming to love the city, and realizing the impact of the advancing war with the Dark. At first, I found it hard to switch from Maerad's perspective to Hem's. My feeling at the end of The Riddle was an urgency to continue immediately to find out what was going to happen next - only to
Third book tears at your heartAt first I did not like Hem. He was only a side character in the first two books. Why was this whole third book his adventure. But oh what an adventure it was. Tour out my heart and stomped on it for good measure. Now that is how to write a good adventure story.
I really wasn't sure I was going to like this book at all. After all, the first two books were primarily about Maerad, and although there were some parts about the writing of that I found a bit odd, I was still interested enough. But now, to change to a book all about her brother, who we briefly met, barely got to know in the other book, well, needless to say, I was a bit worried. Intriguingly, I think this was my favorite of the three so far. There were points I thought it dragged, just certain
Loved it. It was from Hem's point of view instead of Maerad's which was different from all the others in the series.
