The Crow: The Third Book of Pellinor

(3) YA This third installment of a fantasy quartet features Hem, brother of the series's heroine Maerad. Just as Hem is settling down in Turbansk (a city chock-full of Exotic East tropes), the forces of the Dark invade, driving Hem and his mentor, Saliman, to flee. Derivative in style yet rich in characterization, Hem's dense adventure makes for a compelling read.
