I really didn't like Hem's viewpoint. In the first two books I grew really attatched to both Maerad and Cadvan. And then the fact that the end of the book revealed that Hem's struggles were pretty much in vain kind of ruined it for me. I do like Irk, though. :) (show less)

A great book. I honestly didn't like that it was all about Maerad's brother, I prefer it being only about Maerad and her hardship and chanlleges. I'm pretty bummed that the final will be mostly about Hem's point of view rather than Maerad's unfortunetly. But other than that negative feel, this book was good. It linked a lot of what has been happening in the first two books. I Can Not Wait for the Last Book. It had Better Be a Smashing Great Finish.

Having been very eager to continue Maerad's epic, I was really disappointed to find that this didn't involve her at all. Hem's narration irritated me for the most part, and this book was a very slow read. It wasn't until the book was almost over that i started to get into the story at all, and then the ending turned out a huge disappointment. Hem was not that likable of a character for me, and neither was Zelika - Saliman and even Irc were much more appealing, but they turned out as pretty... (show more)

It wasn't until the book was almost over that i started to get into the story at all, and then the ending turned out a huge disappointment. Hem was not that likable of a character for me, and neither was Zelika - Saliman and even Irc were much more appealing, but they turned out as pretty minor characters - and I'd really gotten attached to Maerad and Cadvan. I'm hoping The Singing will focus more on Maerad and her point of view. The Crow was mainly a disappointment - a ton of the storyline felt completely unnecessary -, and in the last book I'm definitely hoping for a resurfacing the gripping narrative I enjoyed so much in the first two books. I'm holding out for a spectacular finale! (show less)
