Summary: BEAUTIFUL
Review: This book is beautiful is you know what to look for. I don't know what in the 9 hells you low raters are talking about. Storm Breaking may not be action-packed, but a very good book does not nesscessarily need to be action-packed and Storm Breaking is a very good book. I've been with the series since The Black Gryphon, and I absolutely love the way things came out. It's a superb ending for a marvelous serie,and I hope there's more.

Summary: A great book
Review: This book kept my attention all the way through. Karal was a very likeable character, Firesong was amusing and An'desha was pitiable. I recommend it.....

Summary: Beautiful written
Review: This book, though great, was written in a more technical style. Which made it all the more believable. I thought this book greatly written just like all the other Valdemaran books.

Summary: An Excellent Trilogy. I look forward to more!
Review: This is an excellent ending to the Mage-Storms Trilogy. There is little action until the very last chapter, where it gets very tense and, near the very end, very emotional. Pay no attention to the people who gave this book series a '2'. They don't know what they're talking about. Let me just say this to them... "If you didn't like the first or second book... then why read the whole trilogy?! Just so you can give it a nasty review. I think that's just plain stupid." Anyway... this book series has little action, but it still hooks you through each chapter. The characters are really detailed and very likeable. Every one of the: to the good guys like: Karal An'Desha, Firesong And to the bad guys like Melles, and Emporer Charliss. All are very much likeable to read and get to know. Lackey writes very well written, well thought of fantasy books. Maybe not as good as Terry Brooks-or maybe just as good- but Mercedes enthralls the reader none-the-less. I look forward to reading more books by this talented author; the next of which I'm reading is the Mage-Winds trilogy, which happens before these books, and even has some characters from these books in them. I look forward to another good trilogy there, too. So if you are a fantasy fan, give a Mercedes Lackey book a try, you might be surprised how much you like it.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: Totally a satisfying coclusion to the storm series. I'd recomend this trilogy to everyone who asks me. the realistic feelings of the characters make you drawn into the story immiedatly. It's a book you can't leave on the shelf or in the bookstore it's too good. Though I definetly do not consider myself Mercedes Lackey's greatest fan I have read alot of he books so try to trust me. and to try out the storm series. but make sure you read the other series first, start with the black gryphon and continue on the timeline. Hope you enjoy reading this book.

Summary: Wonderful! The star on top of a Christmas tree!
Review: Unfortunately for me I read the Mage Storms before the others, but now that I finished I understand how all of the other books are connected and eventually lead up to this series. After reading all the others, this one is the best of them all, and I will read it again and again!

Summary: The End of an Era
Review: Well, Misty's done it again. With this book, she brings the Mage Storms series to an amazing end. It has an uncanny resemblance to a season finale of a great TV show. All the questions will be answered, all the secrets will be revealed, and all the subplots will tie into one astonishing conclusion. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will be amazed by shocking end. Without a doubt, Misty has pulled out all the stops on this one. If you've done your reading in correct order, and have been reading the books since Arrows of the Queen, you will truly appreciate the way that she has concluded the series with such flourish.

Summary: Lackey took things as far as they could go...
Review: With this book (and this series, really), Lackey stretched the credibility of her world too far. She hasn't quite reached the depths that Anne McCaffery's late Pern novels have, but she's coming close. One of the strengths of her earlier Velgarth series was that the characters appeared in one trilogy, and then in future series appeared as minor characters, sticking strictly to the sidelines. Already at the end of the Mage Winds trilogy Elspeth, Darkwind, and Firesong were reaching the end of their usefulness as "save the world" characters -- the ensemble ending that broke the mage storms felt like an utterly contrived reunion show. Fortunately, Lackey has since moved on to fleshing out backstories for some of the more peripheral characters and stories taking place elsewhere in the world. She's created a compelling and complex fantasy world that gives her plenty of room to write in: falling in love with individual characters and not letting them go weakens that world.

Summary: I definately did not think this was worth it
Review: WO!!! How did she manage to ruin the characters from previous books? I thought that this would be another thrilling book like the rest of her books, but I was shocked at the fact that I did not enjoy this series.Darkwind and Elspeth, for example, were completely different, as were many of her other previously enjoyed characters. I also didn't like the characters. They were flawless and totally unrelatable. So overall, Iwas utterly dissappointed at this particular series. Read the other series' before this one. It doesn't get good untill the very end.

Summary: i'm sorry to say i found it boring.
Review: Yes i did say boring. I say this for one reason only; i've read the other books. Compared to the other books this one is really slow and i found myself just wishing the book was over. But all in all it is a very well written book.
