5.0 out of 5 stars Heralds College 5 Nov 2009
By Anne Mcgovern
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I could not put this book down one I started it. I could not wait to get to the next chapter to find out what Mags would get up to next.

I am a great fan of Mercedes Lackey, but I think this is her best book to date.

I hope their is a follow up book for to find out how Mags and his friends get on in their chosen careers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Frustratingly disappointing 21 Feb 2009
By Sooz
Format:Hardcover
I love Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series, but I have been disappointed by this new book. It has been written, it seems to me, almost at a child's level; very simplistically. It is nothing like as complex as the 'Magic' trilogy, not even as much as 'Arrow's Fall' (which, to my mind, started off rather at a child's level, but it did improve). The characters are presented as very black-and-white as well. This over-simplicity is becoming increasingly characteristic of ML's books, eg particularly 'Fortune's Fool'. What does redeem it is that a) it is another Valdemar book and b) the insight into the changes both causing, and caused by, the institution of the Herald's Collegium.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent addition to the Valdemar Chronicles 24 Nov 2008
By Joanne K. Pilsworth VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
In style, this book has more in common with the Arrows series. At the same time, it serves the excellent purpose of filling in some of the history of the Heralds Collegium.

I had expected something a bit more akin to the tension of the Alberich books or the Mage Winds series, in terms of the effect of 'incomers' into Valdemar. So in that respect this book was a bit disappointing.

That said, the character Mags is endearing, not least because he can't really believe that these things are happening to him. The initial attempts by his Companion to reach him are quite amusing, even as there is a dark side to what has happened to him and the other mine children.

Overall, an excellent book, let down a tad by the lack of tension.
