Review: The Hero and the Crown

The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This has never been one of my favorites. Although [a:Robin McKinley|5339|Robin McKinley|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1314406026p2/5339.jpg] is one of my favorite authors, she does have this tendency to give her heroines at least one spell of muddled-headedness, which she writes so well that it's a bit frustrating and muddly-feeling to read. Maybe I'm just too used to having all revealed to me in my stores, sooner or later, to be satisfied with the sort of non-explanations of how the leading ladies pull off their coups. At any rate, this book has that feeling to it, and yet is not as rich in its description as her others, so it doesn't make me love it as much. On the plus side, I've read this one so few times that I had forgotten some of the semi-major plot points and got a surprise as I read it this time.
