Summary: Awesomeness in 450!
Review: Just how much do you think can be in 450 pages? A Lot! But it seems to go by so fast, like a tornado! It's such a good read, and fast at that! I sat down to read this book, and I just devoured it! Lackey's use of imagery makes you feel as though you are right there, seeing it all firsthand. Awesomness!

Summary: THIS... is a good book!
Review: Like I said, THIS, is a good book. A fantasy world with dreamy ideas. You get caught up in the flow of struggle, romance, and magic. It's a wonderfully written book full of fantastic ideas. It's got to be one of her best stories. The plot is great. There are very definitly some funny parts that will have you howling. You'll be caught up in an enthralling world and be unable to put the book down. A great book to read (espically for English reports) or just for fun. It's good, believe me.

Summary: Continuing amazement at the `Valdemar` series.
Review: Mercedes Lackey's `Valdemar` book series continues to meet and exceed my expectations. If you liked Piers Anthony's `Xanth` series you will love `Valdemar`

Summary: Winds of Change is an awesome book!
Review: Misty does it again! Another great book that is almost impossible to put down! Winds of Change is a great book, not only because of the great storyline, but also because of the richness of the characters--Mercedes Lackey really spends a lot of time developing each character so that you can relate to all different aspects of them. Elspeth is my personal favorite. She is strong, intuitive, independent (but not overly so), and very compassionate for the feelings of other. If you havent read this book, do it today!

Summary: An excellent recovery
Review: Much better than the first book in the Mage Winds series. The characters are better developed, and the story is more interesting. Plus, there isn't that annoying alternating-voices hook that didn't work well at all in the first book.

Summary: Meh
Review: OK, so it was better than the first book, which is not saying much. About a fifth of the book was worth reading, and that good stuff left me completely oblivious to the 'real world' as my parents call it. But, as with all of Mercedes Lackey's 'climaxes', her ending was horrible, except more so. This was the one and only time that I actually skipped to the ending, and the only reason I bothered was because, stupid me, I bought the third book.
All in all it was a mediocre book that seriously did damage to my regards of Mercedes Lackey.

Summary: Perfection Achieved
Review: The Mage Winds trilogy is perfection. I have never reread anything as many times as I have read Elspeth's story - and this comes from someone who knows nearly every book she owns by heart, and who's books are so well loved and frequently read that they fall apart. All three are covered thickly with packing tape to keep them in some semblance of being in one piece. If you have any love of magic, read them. If you have any love of adventure, read them. If you have any degree of love of romance, humor, action, or intrigue, read them. Misty was able to rise to the difficult task of meeting the incredible story of Talia, and she achieved what could have been impossible - she rose above. I am a HUGE fan of all of Misty's Valdemar books - read them all! These three, however, are the ones I started with and the ones that got me hooked.

Summary: I think I'm in love!
Review: This book is my favorite book of all time. In the book, Elspeth has traveled long and far to finally find someone to tutor her in the use of her magic, which she plans on bringing home to the defense of her people against the tyrant ruler (Ancar) of their neighboring country. She finally found the mythical Taledras and found one who was willing to tutor her even as he himself relearns magic. This is a beautiful, winding book of action, romance, love, hatred, jelously, humor, and oh so much more. I fell in love with the characters even as the book drew me deeper within. Warning: This book will keep you up late at night, reading into the unholy hours of the morning! If you want a series to read, this is the one (if you are into this genre of reading). I would suggest you first read "Winds of Fate", then this book, then the last in this series. If you aren't already hooked on Valdemar, you will be! Any other Heralds of Valdemar out there, feel free to email me (starstorm_03@yahoo.com)! Hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!
