Spellbound Square: Vanyel eventually manifests the mage and herald abilities in this early Valdemar novel. Vanyel spends his days dreading practice with his father's brutal arms-master, weathering the scorn of his father towards his 'soft' son, practicing music, and fending off the advances of his...

More Young Adult than I thought it would be, but still good. 3-1/2 stars.Current review - AudiobookI didn't realize when I read the book versus listening to the book how much whining a...
I love all of the series and singles that make up the entire Valdemar saga, and this one has always been one of my favorites. Vanyel is a character that I think, in some way, is a universal character that we can all identify with in one way or another. Vanyel Ashkevron is the eldest son of a rathe...
3.75 stars. 1.25 star off for too much hurt, for Lendel and for the very weird lull in the middle of the book.Liked it otherwise, will probably read it again, just not the rest of the series, seeing how the author likes to do away with the characters we get attached to.

This is my favorite of Lackey's books, her most moving and heartfelt. It famously has a gay protagonist, rare even in speculative fiction, even in these days. Gay characters aren't unusual, especially now, but gay protagonists still are. Those themes are important in this book and trilogy, and I t...
Magic, love, tragedy, courage, magic creatures and a fantastic world building... What else should I want from a fantasy?Nothing... It has all.Loved it.. And I want to read more to know how the saga will end... I fear it. Van's path is full of wonders but also pain... And I felt his pain in this book...
