A good ending to this series and one that makes me want more. So I go on to the next book in this world. ( )

Still emotional. Still has its flaws but they're not terrible. Even though this was my third read, I still teared up in places. ( )

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. ( )

There's graphic themes in this book. By no means would I suggest it to children, as I possibly who have the first book. I found myself a bit disappointed in the execution of this one. Nothing is fully resolved in the end, and it has a very fairytale-like ending/wrapup. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
Dedicated to:

Andre Norton for inspiration; Teri Lee for encouragement; and my husband Tony for being understanding about my ongoing affair with a word processor.
First words
Prologue: Long ago - so long ago that details of the conflict are lost and only the merest legends remain - the world of Velgarth was wracked by sorcerous wars.
We could be brother and sister, Kris thought, glancing over at his fellow Herald.
