Which book do you think is the best? The Gift, The Riddle or the Crow?

Personally, I think The Gift was the best. It was the most gripping and I couldn't put it down! The same goes for The Riddle, although it wasn't as exciting as The Gift. I wished The Crow concentrated on Maerad instead of Hem, and it was only sometimes exciting.

They are all on my Top List for books, but I've got to say the Gift, mainly because that's the only book so far which has cadvan in it 100% :D

What about The Crow? It doesn't have anything to do with Cadvan at all. I guess it was the least favourite, eh?

Go bridie! *gets into cheerleader costume and starts dancing around*

Anyway, back to topic, i do like the crow, but for me, it's just not as emotionally moving as the gift and The riddle. Actually, the riddle is probs better in the sense that it made me cry more, much MUCH more, but

caddy wasn't in half of it,and I honestly thought he was dead, and i cried everytime his name was mentioned... Too tiring for me...*shakes head sadly*

I know, i can be a bit soppy at times...

I think the Riddle was the better of the three for me! It was a very emotional book and i think this created a much stronger bond between the characters and the readers. Mearad went through such alot its hard not to admire her.
I loved the gift, but there was something about the riddle that did it for me.

I enjoyed the crow alot, but personally when it was released all i wanted to find out about was cadvan and mearad.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i can't choose!!!! why is isn't there an option for all three? :( o well i dont know i really like all of them. the gift cuz it started the whole and opened up a whole new world for me and the riddle cuz it deepens what the riddle starts and the crow cuz learning more about hem was just as interesting and you realize the unbreakable bond between hem and maerad!

so ya i pick all three!! :D

i said the Crow, because although the other two books are great Alison gets better ather job as she goes along and i think the third was her best.
