You'll sit on the edge of your seat holding your breath as Talia and Kris go to Hardorn. (  ) goldnyght | Sep 25, 2009 |  Since I decided to only review one book per 'miniseries' of Valdemar, I picked my favorite, though it's also the one I despise the most. My problem, I think, is my emotional attachment to characters. That's why I both love and hate Magic's Price. When a character you love dies in the end and you know it's going to happen...it's sad and painful, and maybe I shouldn't get so wrapped up in my books. But with Valdemar...it's so hard to stay apart from them! Another point of interest is Ancar's coup, which spans outwards in both directions, chronologically, back into the Exile duology and forward all the way to the Mage Storms. Which is too bad, because bad kings in literature get my fire up. (  ) jehovahrapha | Aug 28, 2009 | This is the sequel to Arrow's Flight and brought Talia's story to a satisfactory conclusion. However there was plenty of evidence that Valdemar's problems are not over. Of course I already knew this since I have already read the next trilogy. I did enjoy Arrow's Fall but I would recommend that anyone new to the Valdemar series try to read them in order as far as possible. hailelib | Jun 15, 2009 | I love Mercedes Lackey’s characterisation but her action scenes leave a lot to be desired! I had to skip back to re-read what happened to Kris (because I kinda missed it, it was over so fast!) and the battle was a massive build-up for only a page or two of action all of which was too neatly resolved. I also would have preferred that the impact on Talia be explored more extensively, an “all better now” mind healing (that happened off screen) was such a lost opportunity! Still, this is a great world, lovely characters and I’m willing to bet I’ll explore the world more thoroughly in the future. (  ) ph8 | Jan 19, 2009 | What can I say, Mercedes lackey is my favorite author. I have enjoyed her Vlademar stories multiple times. This is one of my favorite series. I love Talia's character. This is the third book in the trilogy. It was the best of the three. If you like excitement, adventure, and fantasy, this is a series you will not want to miss. Talia has finished her Herald's training and as the Queen's own herald she is sent on a diplomatic mission to a neighboring kingdom to investigate a marriage proposal from Prince Ancar to Elsbeth. Things are not what they seem. ( ) frazrat | Aug 19, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Download Description (ISBN 0886772559, Paperback)With Elspeth, the heir to the throne of Valdemar, come of marriageable age, Talia, the Queen's Own Herald returns to court to find Queen and heir beset by diplomatic intrigue as various forces vie for control of Elspeth's future. But just as Talia is about to uncover the traitor behind all these intrigues, she is sent on a mission to the neighboring kingdom, chosen by the Queen to investigate the worth of a marriage proposal from Prince Ancar. And to her horror, Talia soon discovers there is far more going on at Prince Ancar's court than just preparation for a hoped-for royal wedding. For a different magic than that of the Heralds is loose in Ancar's realm-an evil and ancient sorcery that may destroy all of Valdemar unless Talia can send warning to her Queen in time!(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:03 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
