Title: A very entertaining read.
Product review: Like some other readers, I just have to keep coming back to this book; I usually read it and The Blue Sword about once a year (usually shortly after I finish rereading the Anne of Green Gables books or Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles).McKinley's non-chronological arrangement of events does make the first read a little confusing but it's worth it; once you know the general outline of the story it's a great read, so stick with it. There are dark parts of the book, certainly, but dark isn't always bad and it can be thrilling.The Hero and the Crown isn't meant (I think) to be the Great American Novel. It's an adventure story with some heart and some brain and a heroine who discovers strength she didn't know she possessed, and it's always entertaining. Highly recommended, as is The Blue Sword. I didn't care for Deerskin and am impatiently awaiting McKinley's next book in the series.
