The Crow by Alison Croggon
4.5
[9/10]
When I started this one and realized we had totally switched protagonists, I was VERY unsure, but it turned out to be my favorite in the series.
It doesn't pull any punches narratively. It's darker in many ways, lighter in others, than the two installments that preceded it. I was deeply concerned the entire time this book was happening. I didn't want to put it down once it really got going, and more than one time I had very emotional reactions to the events in this book out loud in public.
By the end of this one, I began to understand a lot more about the big picture of what the series was trying to accomplish, and it raised the stakes for me considerably when it came to the anticipation of the overarching story's conclusion. Very good stuff.
