Summary: Not as good as AotQ
Review: Although this book was well-written, I couldn't help but be a bit bored with it. This is the second installment of the Heralds of Valdemar series, and it feels like the middle chapter of a longer, more interesting story. This book lags quite a bit, and becomes down right boring in many sections. I found myself getting really frustrated, with Talia holding in her emotions, trying to gain control of her Gift, her odd love-hate relationship with Kris. For every step Talia took forward, she was taking a step back in the next paragraph. The scenes where she and Kris were doing their Heraldic duties were great, but an over-long "snowed in" sequence and too many incidences of Talia "holding it all in" just made the book too long. The typos were annoying, too. Is Talia's friend and blood brother's name spelled "Skif" or "Skiff"? There are several incidences of both. I love the characters, the world they live in and the Companions, and I think Misty's writing skill is fab, but
ultimitely, I felt this book could have been about 75 to 100 pages shorter and been more effective. I am still enjoying this series, though, and look forward to completing this trilogy, and I can't wait to see what else Valdemar has in store.

Summary: Trials of the Queen's Own
Review: Finally, after years of training, Talia has finally earned her whites. Now all that stands before her is a year and a half intership with Kris as her advisor. The 1 1/2 year goes by slowly. Monay things happen that try both her strength and will. Through snow and feelings of doubt, Talia finds new friends, confidence, control, and most importantly, the lessons she has learned.

Review: How can you not like this book?! Although I liked Arrows of the Queen better, I still believe this to be one of the best books of all time!

Summary: Good, but not great.
Review: I am a beginner to Mercedes Lackey's books, and after reading Arrows of the Queen I expected there to be more action and drama. I was dissapointed. I didn't like the snowed in part, which seemed to be the climax, and the amount of sex when she didn't love the man disturbed me. I highly doubt it possible to be doing your teacher, learning, and staying friends at the same time. Mrs. Lackey also has an incredible amount of typos in her books. You would think she would be able to spell her own character's names. And last, I got tired of Talia feeling sorry for herself. That is one of the reasons that the plot (?) dragged. I feel that Mrs. Lackey is good, but she should have put far more thought and time into this book, writing and editing.

Summary: Very Good
Review: I became a fan of Mercedes Lackey during my freshman year of college, when a friend suggested I read Magic's Pawn, about six years ago. Since then I've been hooked. I read all of the Valdemar books through Owlsflight, then lost touch. I'm now re-reading all the books in the order in which they were published. Some of them I'm re-reading for the first time and it's amazing how much I've forgotten in six years. It's wonderful to be rediscovering these books. Some of those I didn't like as much before, I like a lot more now. I've changed a lot in six years and the time has given me a new perspective. I'm thirlled that I have found new things to love about these books. Arrows Flight is one of the books I haven't read in five years or so, and I have a new-found appreciation for it.

Summary: Not as enthralling as its predecessor
Review: I found that this book was not as interesting or as sustaining as the Arrows of the Queen. The portion where she was snowed in and having problems with her gifts was quite draggy but it picked up towards the end. That argument with Kris was hilarious! Still a worthwhile read.
Rating:
Summary: A story and author that will keep you enthralled for hours.
Review: I have to say that out of all of the books I have read by science-fiction and fantasy writers I think that Mercedes Lackey is one of the best. Her books never lose their excitement throughout the story. There is always another hidden story line that you will never notice until she comes out with her next book. I think that I have become rather addicted to her work and I am vigorously trying to get all of the books that involve the Heralds of Valdemar. I you like fantasy, you'll love this series of books

Summary: Arrow's Flight
Review: I liked Arrows of the Queen a lot, and was anxious to read Arrow's Flight, but it was a bit of a letdown.
There isn't any solid plot or climax to Arrow's Flight. As in most trilogies, it's the weakest of the three, serving only as a bridge between the beginning novel, which introduces the characters and the problems, and the final novel, which resolves the climax.
Talia is finally a Herald, and is going off on her year-and-a-half circuit training with Kris. Most of the story involves Talia trying to control her Empathic Gift, which has gone out of control because of rumours flying around that she's using her Gift for her own advantage. It's not the most interesting of the three, but if you want to understand Arrow's Fall, read it, even if you don't buy it. But don't read it on its own.

Summary: So Happy My Dad Lent It To Me!
Review: I loved it! It is one of the best books I ever read. It tells about Talia's trials with her Gift. However there is some romance and an ocasional bit of humor. It is another of Misty's awsome works. I LOOOOOOOOVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEDDDD It!
Rating:
Summary: Flight of Fancy
Review: I really liked this book because it is sort of the start of the love between Talia and Dirk, and it was a good plot with her having to gain control of her gift.
