I understand why Cashore had to cripple him in some way; if not, he was always gonna be the hero. When I finished reading I remember being surprised, and happy, that she worked things out as she did without killing him off.

Obviousl...Well, I felt Po was more than a sidekick. Obviously Katsa gets the spotlight on her as the main character, but I guess I consider Po a supporting hero :) He's much more the traditional hero type, except for the fact that he kinda gets left behind :(<br /><br />I did see your other reviews for Fire and Bitterblue, so a bit scared to pick them up. Going to catch up on reading some other things first.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13367342277757437200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740479213866970532.post-50649735278606981962013-07-27T18:28:44.941-07:002013-07-27T18:28:44.941-07:00Yah!

I do wish the story wasn't so linear, but once I gave into that; I couldn't stop reading. <br /><br /><br />You though Po was the hero? <br /><br />I Love Cashore, but I'd issue warnings about her other offerings....
