Liked It Rated 5 stars “My favourite of the series so far, following Hem in Turbansk. I love Irk the white crow. I think that Hem is a more accessible character than Maerad was in the previous books in the series and that is why I enjoyed this book more, though it is quite grim at times and maybe a little gory.

  “This book was a slower part to the series but a major key to the story as a whole.”

I will definitely complete the series with 'The Singing'”

  “The Pellinor series is continued by Maerad's brother, Hem as he finds his talents as a healer and familiar to birds. Irk, his white Crow becomes his companion and partner as they fight to protect their school, lands, and people from the crushing power of the Nameless One.”

  “I utterly adore this book, it gave me a better look at the personality of Hem and Saliman. Hem is, in all honesty, a lovable character and I guess it wasn't a surprise to me when I found out what his Barding specialty was. It was a little disappointing when I found out that Maerad and Cadvan weren't going to be active characters in the book, but I got over it. I'm waiting until I can read the 4th and last book! XD”

  “The hardest of the four books to read, because it was all about war. Of course I had to know what happened but I couldn't FLY through this one.”

  “Alison Croggon recreates a period of War fought with magic....not just as a bloody heartless venture, but as something more human...with not just pain and suffering, but with humour, growth in character, and tender moments like the funny relationship the protagonist, a little boy, develops with a crow, a mischevious and hilarious character in itself.
