More like 3.5. I really like the characters in this series and the whole history that Croggon has made up is amazing.

Still really liked the plot and the atmosphere, but Maerad was much more annoying in this one. She was just over dramatic to inject conflict where it wasn't really needed. Also the love interest bit close to the end made no sense and really came out of left field.

Very nice. It's exactly as I expected after the first one. Seems to play more on Maerd's feelings then her actual powers but other then that it is good. The only complaint is that Croggon seems to only introduce her cousin and fathers family just to take them away from her and to find out the the other half of the treesong is in her lyre. All that sacrifice for something they always had. The series is very nice and magical.

The second entry into the Pellinor series - one of my favorite fantasy series!

I believe this book, book two, is my favorite of the four books. The world building is extensive, and I enjoyed flipping to the map at the front of the book between passages. While the first book has a lot of exposition, this second book covers so much material. The Elidhu are a fascinating part of this book, and I'm glad they were expounded upon further.

DNF'd this one. I never do that, but I wasn't that into it.
