A review by missmeesh
The Crow by Alison Croggon

5.0

I will admit, it took me a while to get into it. Try it took me twice to even get past the eighth chapter. However, I persevered, and I definitely was rewarded. I loved the story line, once I really thought about it, and I was extremely excited to get the next book and read it too.
There were a few things that I did not like, but, at the expense of the people who have not read the book but are reading this, I will not say anything about those issues for me.
I do recommend you read it, especially if you have read the other books in the series.

Hem is a not-so-average Bard. After all, he is an orphan, had a horrible childhood, and only recently accepted Bards and the Bard that is inside him. While his sister is off searching in the north, Hem ends up with his own problems; the Dark is attacking the city, and he is watching it crumble before his eyes. But there is something he can do…at the possible expense of his life.

In the thrilling third book in the series of Pellinor, this novel will be just as thrilling as the other two.
