Maerad grabs the reader’s sympathy right from the beginning of the story, but she certainly doesn’t need other people’s sympathy. Alison Croggon is an excellent writer and obviously put a lot of thought and effort into this series. The plot is intricate and the characters very well defined. She gains the sympathy and respect of the reader from the beginning. I found her extremely relatable, and immediately liked her. She is not perfect, though, she has a prideful and stubborn streak. Maerad, the heroine of the story, is smart, tough, loving, and abnormally talented and powerful. This series is awesome! I quite literally couldn’t get my nose out of this book when I first read it. Now, she and her mysterious teacher must embark on a treacherous, uncertain journey through a time and place where the forces of darkness wield an otherworldly terror. It is only when she is discovered by Cadvan, one of the great Bards of Lirigon, that her true identity and extraordinary destiny unfold. She doesn’t yet know she has inherited a powerful gift, one that marks her as a member of the noble School of Pellinor and enables her to see the world as no other can. Maerad is a slave in a desperate and unforgiving settlement, taken there as a child when her family is destroyed in war.
