Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 9 Up—Maerad, who was rescued from slavery and became a Bard in Croggon's The Naming (Candlewick, 2005), has her hands full here. Along with her tutor Cadvan, she has been charged with finding the Treesong, a source of power so ancient that nothing but the barest of rumors remain. Their journey is hounded by agents of a treacherous Bard professing to act in the name of the Light and by an enigmatic entity known as the Winterking, an ally of Maerad's adversary, the Nameless One. At the same time, the protagonist struggles to understand the light and darkness within herself. Deep currents of sorrow, loneliness, and love run through this haunting epic fantasy; Maerad's feelings of alienation and self-doubt will resonate with many adolescents. Appendixes help to further flesh out the characters and cultures of Croggon's Edil-Amarandh, an engrossing world that fantasy aficionados will be eager to revisit.—Christi Voth, Parker Library, CO

From Booklist

The second volume of the Pellinor quartet, this fantasy tells of Maerad the Fated One, a bard whose destiny is to defeat the Nameless One by using the mysterious Treesong. Young Maerad embarks on a long quest to discover more about the Treesong while eluding, fending off, and (usually) escaping the agents of the Dark who pursue her. Sometimes accompanied by allies, sometimes alone, she continues to learn about herself and her magical powers as well as the world she must try to save. Croggon's respect for Tolkien's trilogy shows clearly in the book's conception, structure, and long, appended backstory notes, but the vulnerable heroine, the language, and the vision are all her own. Although the dramatic tension lags a bit in the middle of this lengthy novel, that won't deter series fans or others who long for high fantasy with a young woman in the spotlight. Carolyn Phelan

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST BOOK ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!!!!!!!, Jun 11 2006
This review is from: Riddle, the (Paperback)
OK, I read the first book and thought it was the best book on the face of the earth, but the second book is EVEN BETTER!!!! The whole series is the best things I've ever read, and that's saying something because I've read *quite* alot of books! (I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan and I think that this book is even better than those!!!!!!!!) These books have a little of everything in them: action, adventure, comedy, romance, etc. That's why they're absolutly perfect! The plot is so captivating that made it EXTREMELY hard to put down. Buying this book is SOOOOOOO worth it, take my word for it!!!!!!! Kudos to Alison Croggon, author of the best book on earth! GO PELLINOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :)
