Product Description
As this enthralling epic nears its climax, the young heroine’s brother discovers his own hidden gift — and the role he must play in battling the Dark.
Hem is a weary orphan whose struggle for survival ends when he is reunited with his lost sister, Maerad. But Maerad has a destiny to fulfill, and Hem is sent to the golden city of Turbansk, where he learns the ways of the Bards and befriends a mysterious white crow. When the forces of the Dark threaten, Hem flees with his protector, Saliman, and an orphan girl named Zelika to join the Light’s resistance forces. It is there that Hem has a vision and learns that he, too, has a part to play in Maerad’s quest to solve the Riddle of the Treesong. As THE CROW continues the epic tale begun with THE NAMING and THE RIDDLE, Alison Croggon creates a world of astounding beauty overshadowed by a terrifying darkness, a world where Maerad and Hem must prepare to wage their final battle for the Light.

The other side of the world October 3, 2008
This book totally blew me away! I was not expecting it to be about Hem, but I must say I was refreshing to get a second opinion on this magical world of Pellinor. The book lacks nothing in it's descriptive detail and it's unique ability to get the reader to not only see the world in this book but to feel it as well. Hem makes many friends and becomes a man. His mission, like Mearads, is full of twists and turns and unexpected choices, as well as a revolution to the Treesong that has you turning page after page just itching for more! I can hardly wait till my fourth book comes in the mail! Just be reassured that you will not waste your money on this book it is truely a keeper for anyones personal library.
 Excellent September 24, 2008
I have enjoyed this series and was eagerly awaiting this book. I have not yet been able to read it due to my schedule, but the product itself arrived quickly and in excellent condition.

I love this series and eagerly anticipated The Crow. However, I wasn't as impressed with this third installment as I was with the previous two. I felt that the first sixty or so pages were very boring and therefore hard to get through. I also found myself skipping paragraphs or whole pages throughout the book to get to the "good parts", something I had not previously done with the other books.
I felt it was a decent sub-back-story and it provided a lot of pertinent information on our villain, but here's to the fourth and our return to Maerad!

My granddaughter(age 14)wanted this book in the worst way, so I ordered it for her. She read this book in 3 days! Now she is asking for more! Apparently this is an excellent book for her to have read it so fast.
Third book in a great series May 24, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the third book of an excellent four book fantasy series. Book publishers don't help their own sales by labeling books as for young adults because I am by no means a young adult and I can hardly put this series down. They are written in a female voice, are very creative, and exciting. I am anxiously awaiting book four to be published.
