The Crow by Alison Croggon
5.0
It is only the darkness in our own hearts that will defeat us, in the end.
The story of Maerad's younger brother Hem. He goes to Turbansk for schooling, but then is in the middle of a war between the light and the darkness. Hem stays to help, as he wants to feel useful. Saliman, his teacher, feels that Hem has a role to play in the defeat of the Nameless One, along with his sister.
Hem's story is really sad. This book is definitely more brutal than the first two. I love Hem so much, just want him to have a better life. As young as he is, he's been through so much trauma, but his spirit is still resilient.
Now on to the fourth and final book!
It is not given to us to know what difference we can make, and perhaps we can make no difference at all. But that is no reason not to make the attempt," said Saliman quietly. "The Light shines more brightly in the darkness.”
