by Mercedes Lackey
One of my favorite parts of the Valdemar epic saga are the Collegium so I love that there is now an entire series based on them! Foundation is the first in a (so far) five book series set in the Collegium. While Mags is the center of the series from the Herald Collegium, the Bardic and Healer Colleg...
From an abused slave to a Herald of Valdemar. It's a wonderful thing to see Mercedes Lackey go back and fill in some of the "in-between" times in Velgarth's history. This story takes place after Vanyel and before the Arrows series. The number of new Heralds coming in is too large for the tradition...
Not one of my favorite from this universe, but not one of my least favorite, either. The timeframe is a rather compelling one in terms of Valdemar history--just after The Last Herald Mage, but before most of the "main" story. It was interesting to see Vanyel just barely out of reach, and to see the ...
If you're already a fan of Lackey or her Valdemar books, this one will read like a dozen before it: a young person is abused and/or impoverished and escapes their desperate circumstances when they're chosen by a Companion (read, magical horse) and learns that as a result they will be trained to beco...
I am a Mercedes Lackey fan and this did hit a few of my sweet spots. The plot is somewhat recycled, kid brought from terrible start to new life with the heralds. This kid, Mags, starts as a miner under terrible conditions and his life changes completely when a herald with an extra companion turns ...
Fantastic as always
I've been disappointed for a while with Lackey's books. It seems like, when she decided to team up with her husband, the general quality level of her Valdemar books dropped significantly, and they began to read like YA titles. Very YA titles. And so I drifted away. I'd read the new ones, be a bit ho...
Placed in the Vlademar world created by Mercedes Lackey, fans that have visited it before will not be disapointed. The Collegium Chronicles is a little different than the others being that its setting is at a school with a boy as the protaganist, reminding me a lot of Harry Poter. I have always lov...
I was very excited to see that Mercedes Lackey would be returning to Valdemar, and this book did not disappoint. Fun characters, adventure, and a world I've grown to love and enjoy visiting. My only real frustration is that I read the book so quickly, so now I have no new Valdemar reading until the ...
