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 toThird 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.

Todays post is on The Crow by Alison Croggon and it is the third book of Pellinor. It is 511 pages long including maps, notes, and appendices. It is published by Candlewick Press.

The cover is very telling about the plot of the story. The intended reader is all young adults, not just girls, but
Loved it. It was from Hem's point of view instead of Maerad's which was different from all the others in the series.
All novels, and especially fantasy novels, provide the opportunity for authors to create their own worlds in which to place their characters, and in large measure what makes the story convincing is the plausibility of that secondary world. Croggon's land of Edil-Amarandh is given credible substance by its characters' interaction with the geography, climate and changing seasons, and the success of The Crow and the other Pellinor books is enhanced by the impression that Maerad and Hem, Cadvan and
