Decided as I was taking a break from writing that I would sit back and re-read some of my favorite books. Mercedes Lackey writes some of the very best fantasy on the market today. As a long time fan of her fiction I find myself constantly going back to her books when I run out of things to read. ...
I'm generally a fan of Lackey's Valdemar books. This one starts in a way very common to her, as we follow a young man, Darian, who is orphaned and alienated from all around him.

I was glad to see Lackey take her Valdemar books past the storms. Like many of her Valdemar books she uses a younger character in this book, which makes this a good read for both adults and YA.
