4.25-4.5If you're a spoiler tag reader like I am, then I will tell you now that my spoiler isn't going to be a spoiler spoiler. It just very obviously hints at some incredibly frustrating events, which you will stab yourself for if you ruin it for yourself.1. Dear Mercedes Lackey: WHAT THE BEEPING B...

Well, now. This book took me to that magic place, the place where things happen in my head. How can you not love this story? FINALLY a boy who does NOT want to fight with swords and be the strongest, most badass and powerful man alive. No, Vanyel just wants to be a bard, to sing; a boy who has a...

This is a CLASSIC fantasy series and the first one that I every read that featured a gay man as the lead. It still remains one of my all time favorite fantasy series to this day.

Melodramatic, over-the-top, and as subtle as a brick to the skull, this is nevertheless an engrossing read. Vanyel's journey from a spoiled, effeminent musician-wannabee to a heart-broken, effeminent Herald-Mage is really engaging. Teenagers will especially find themselves drawn to this story. Th...

I loved this book. I must have read this one at least fifty times. The m/m part was a bit disturbing to me since I didn't read m/m much at this time. The m/m in this story is more about love rather than sexual heat. Yes, there was some sexual content, but really it's all about all encompassing l...
