The Crow by Alison Croggon

5.0

I loved this installment in the Books of Pellinor series. I think it was a beautiful exploration of Hem, letting us as readers get to know him better, love him and consider his own insecurities and role in the story.


What I think was so profound about The Crow was that Hem is the brother of the Fated One and so his story is reflective of people who surround someone of great importance. The Crow gives Hem a moment to shine. With his sister as this all-important person, Hem is important as well. His part of the story is valuable. Hem is a brave and selfless character who has been done great wrongs through his life and truly been through trauma but those experiences make him stronger and more human.
