The Crow with a Southwestern flavor
22. November 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Since there is a synopsis of the story already done, I will save space on going over the specifics of the story. Wicked Prayer addresses the Crow Indian mythos, previously only hinted at in the first feature film. The rural desert backdrop is a welcomed change from the often-used urban setting in most Crow stories. The desert background helped to emphasize the isolated and barren tone that is inherent to the Crow stories. The novel follows the usual path of Crow stories and then takes a different twist. We are taken on a wicked road trip. The lead evil characters, Kyra and Johnny are joined by a "unique" third party named Raymundo. You will have to read the novel to see what I mean by "unique". Raymundo is a wise cracking character who adds most of the welcomed hard biting dialogue during the road trip. He acts as a guide for Kyra in her quest to achieve immortality. Overall, I enjoyed the story, yet could not escape the feeling that the road trip had one too many detours along the way. The story seemed to center more around Kyra than Dan Cody, the man who comes back. I prefer more focus on the avatar. However, the character of Kyra is very well written and developed. I thought the story was original and entertaining. For certain, `Wicked Prayer' continues the trend of previous novels by stretching the mythos into new and intriguing rhelms.

This time, The Crow itself is one of the major characters, and actually talks to the man it is partnered with. Dan and Leticia are murdered by
Kyra and Johnny, a couple who are driven to seek immortality, through Kyra's brush with The Crow. A plaything for a group of wannabe magicians, she reads some old books, and comes across some information on The Crow. She hangs herself, hoping to gain power, but The Crow refuses her, as her fate was brought about by her own hand. Johnny
rescues her.
To complete her transformation to power, she needs the eyes of a blue eyed crow, and Leticia's mother was a Crow Indian, and her father Irish, leaving her a blue eyed crow. Her boyfriend, Dan, a dweller in the Arizona desert is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The Crow, risking its own life multiple times brings Dan back, as they desperately try and stop Kyra from completing her ritual, destroying them both.
Norman Partridge's horror writing here is very nice, I'd like to check him out some more.

I always enjoy a great read when I have a lot of downtime
25. Juli 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
I took this book with me when I took a flight to Mississippi for eye surgery. I started reading it on the way there, and after I got my surgery, I couldn't stand to read anything with my eyes hurting so bad. I was so disappointed that I could not finish the book right then and there, I was very into the plot from the beginning. The man in the beginning had a lot of mystery behind him and I was left wanting to know so much more. When I was able to start reading again, I could not put this book down.
