Judgment Regarding Books The Riddle (The Books of Pellinor #2)

The story continues, and it does so well. We see new lands, meet new people and flirt with villains. I really enjoyed the book, and it was a bit different from the first. I think it was less "Tolkienish", but it still retained that old-fashioned camaraderie, that authors like Tolkien infused in their books. Still lots of travel, which I really love when done well, and in this case it is. And of course more of Maerad and Cadvan, who turn out to be really well-shaped characters, and became

I'll be the first to admit that I possibly read this book... too fast.But a third of the way through, it hit me right in my Cadvan-loving heart, and the back of the book promised there would be a "seductive Winterking," so what's a girl to do?This was another utter delight. A lot of people compare it to LotR, but to me the only real similarity is that there's this feeling of vast, infinite lore. This is an expansive, complex world and I could spend ages and ages learning about it and its

Christopher Bookers The Seven Basic Plots suggest that the more different archetypal narratives a novel includes the richer it becomes (Booker admires The Lord of the Rings for this), and on this basis Croggons Pellinor series must be rich indeed. The Riddle includes the themes of the Quest, Overcoming the Monster, Voyage and Return and Tragedy, while it is only a matter of time and two more novels before we must surely encounter Rags to Riches, Comedy (in the classical sense) and Rebirth.

So much better than the first!This book didn't have those dragging info dumps like the first book and so it was not difficult to finish it. I still love the story's writing, world, and characters. Some moments made me tear up because it was so touching or because it was sad. There were a couple things that confused me but it's not a big deal. Anyways I'll be reading the next book. :D4 Stars.

Mixed feelings about this one. After the first 150 pages I was sorely tempted to give up. The story wasn't progressing and I was getting sick of reading about two characters wandering across varying landscapes while refusing to speak to each other. It felt like I was reading a travel guide instead of a novel.Then, spectacularly, the story changed and Maerad found herself without Cadvan and forced to continue her quest alone. This is where the story really picked up and I found myself glad I kept

Leaning more 3.5 now.

This was even better than the first book The Naming. I am hooked. Great visuals, and spellbinding story line.
