Summary: It was an awsome books, as are all her books
Review: I love reading Mercedes Lackey books. I get transported to Valdemer and to Erold's Grove and the Vales. It is wonderful and I recomend all her books to anyone who enjoys fantasy.
Rating:
Summary: Fantastic, though slow moving at the beginning.
Review: Owlsight was a great book, though I personally like The Last-Herald Mage series better (hint, hint: check it out!) I thought that perhaps the slow moving pace was a bit of a deterrent, but the characterization was fantastic, as always. I can't wait for the next book, Owlknight, I think it is, and if anyone has any info on it, could they please e-mail me at the above address, or if they just want to talk about Mercedes Lackey's works in general.

Summary: Let's all give Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon a hand!
Review: I thought that this was a great book and an accomplishment for the husband-wife team and I loved the inclusion of Kerowyn, Firesong and Eldan. Among some others, these three older characters have been some of the ones that I have missed the most in Misty's recent books. I would like it if Misty would write more about the older characters, but this book was enough to settle me for now.

Summary: Excellent, fun, entertaining, read it in one day!
Review: Good sequel to the story of Darian. Enjoyed the new characters, didn't want the story to end. Continues to explore recurrent themes of magic and hawkbrother cutlure. Very enjoyable, hope we don't have to wait too long for the next one.

Summary: Much Better
Review: Slow start as with the first one, but lots more interesting. Flows better than Owlflight, can't wait for the next one.

Summary: for mercedes lackey- so/ so
Review: I thought this book was a little disappointing for her. I've read every other book in the Valdemar series, except the one before this. By the end of Owlsight, I could guess exactly what happened in Owlflight. It is a decent story, but it read like a YA book to me, not an adult novel. It felt like it was designed for early teenage girls, not the general public.Also, I read the synopsis on this site, I didn't notice anything about his parents. Maybe that's in the next book?

Summary: Well written characterization, slow-moving plot
Review: Although one of Misty's trademarks is good characterization and _Owlsight_ is no exception, I found the plot lacking. Too many pages(3/4 of the book)were devoted to char description without advancing the plot much. Characterization is all good and well, but at least she should have interwined it with more action. If you are an avid fan of Valdemar and you do not care much for fast-paced action, then I would recommend this book, especially since a number of earlier characters reappear--Firesong, Kerowyn, Eldan. You also learn what many of the characters featured in the Magestorm Trilogy are up to. It really is a good story, but a little too slow for my tastes.

Summary: Wow!
Review: I have always been the type of fan that foams at the mouth for more of her work. This one was WELL worth the wait. I read it in one sitting, who needs sleep anyway? A good author always sets their characters out for you but she is a MASTER! She painstakingly (sp) explores each of her characters to the fullest. To me that enhanses the book because I know the next one will be terrific.

Summary: WONDREFUL TO READ!!!!
Review: I just finished this book and I must say it is a great book. Misty makes me wonder about what the next book(OwlKnight) is going to be about. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Summary: An Introspective Valdemar tale
Review: Four years have passed since the Barbarians raided and plundered Errold's Grove (see Book I, OWLFLIGHT). The village has since recovered and actually is larger than it was before the disaster. Untrained talent, teenager Keisha Alder has become the town's unofficial healer. However, in spite of her immense innate skills, she struggles with helping others because she has never learned to block out her empathy towards the pain of her patients and their families. Even her own family, especially her sister Shandi is driving her crazy. Still, formal training is out of the question, at least for now, because the townsfolk have no one else to turn to for assistance. Four years ago, Darien left the village to receive healing training from the Hawkbrothers. He returns accompanied by his mentors to warn the villagers that the Barbarians are at the gate once again and razing Errold's Grove for the second time seems to be a foregone conclusion. The second novel in the "Owl fantasy" trilogy, OWLSIGHT, is a well written tale as expected from the talented duo of Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon. However, this time the story lacks the vigorous action of the debut novel or Ms. Lackey's "Valdemar" series (same setting). This novel is more introspective, providing much insight, mostly through the filter of how Keisha sees and reacts to the noises that appears to be overwhelming her at any given moment. Fans of the series and fantasy tales in general will take pleasure from this book that offers a quieter glimpse of the Valdemar universe and will look forward to the final story, OWLKNIGHT.
