First printing

Snowplum85 | Apr 17, 2024 |

The middle book sees Van sad, lonely, stressed out and put upon but at least there is no really brutal violence in this one, at least from what I remember, having read it last year. (

I like the books Mercedes Lackey writes, she is good at creating a believable world and people to populate it. While her writing is not the strongest I do find it engaging ang and enjoyable. I like a series I can live inside of and her books are ones that have characters I feel invested in and a world I believe could exist. (

Absolutely loved it. One of my favorites out of all of her works. (

This book requires a tissue warning! Sometimes the middle book of a trilogy is a weaker one than the ends. This one is a powerful book. Vanyel has come into his own as one of the most powerful (if not THE most powerful) Herald-Mages ever. Valdemar is still taking the geographic shape it would have in the Arrows trilogy. This story is one of personal sacrifice made for the good of others.

Do start at the beginning of the trilogy, but if you like fantasy, then you should try this series. (

Surrounded as it was by newer, smaller outbuildings of whitewashed stucco, it [Forst Reach] resembled a vast and rather ill-natured gray granite hen squatting among a flock of paler chicks.

Baby Heralds wrecking rooms, adult Heralds making magic Gates and then falling through them half-dead, a possible war on the Border, and still somehow the beds get made. What a world.-- p. 187
