The Singing (The Books of Pellinor #4)
The Singing follows the separate journeys of Maerad and Cadvan, and their brother Hem, as they desperately seek each other in an increasingly battle-torn land. The Black Army is moving north and Maerad has a mighty confrontation with the Landrost to save Innail. All the Seven Kingdoms are being threatened with defeat. Yet Maerad and Hem hold the key to the mysterious Singing and only in releasing the music of the Elidhu together may the Nameless One be defeated.
Can brother and sister find each other in time to fight the Nameless One, and are they strong enough to defeat him?
I'm so sad this series is over!I recommend it to anyone, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
The last book of a very good series! However, I was somewhat disappointed. There was a lot of descriptions of food, and how wonderful baths are, and how cold and tired everyone was. A lot of the story was really repetitive like that. Then, SPOILER ALERT it just felt like when she finally faced down the bad guy, you really didn't have any interaction with him. And it wasn't that big of a deal to defeat him. And GEEZE, we spent all this time learning how special Maerad was for being part
Overall, I thought this was a mostly satisfactory conclusion to the series. There were only two things that really bothered me. Firstly, I felt that the final battle was a little anti-climatic. I mean, it took thousands of pages over four books to build up to it, and then....that was it? Secondly, the resolution of Maerad and Cadvan's relationship left a lot to be desired. I fell in love with them. I watched the evolution of their relationship and waited breathlessly for them to admit their love
I really want to give this book 3.5 stars, but it just doesn't make it to 4. I appreciate the fact that the characterizations were stronger and more clear in this book than in the earlier volumes, but the plot was just... lacking. As an "epic journey" saga, Croggon let large portions of the book be carried merely by the characters traveling from one place to another (which was the case, to some extent, in her earlier books, I admit), and it just got a little boring.I thought the wrapping up of
A thrilling and wonderful conclusion to this series. Maerad and Hem must find their way back to one another. As always though this is no easy feat and they must face danger, darkness and fight to save themselves and those they love. As always the adventures keep you gripped throughout and draw you into the magical world created within the pages of these books. A fabulous series I highly recommended it.
