Summary: I think this is a great book!!
Review: I think this is a really great book. I really like this author. I appreatiate Misty's work. If you want to start to read her books you should start with Arrows of the Queen. Arrows of the Queen begins the heralds of Valdemar Trilogy. The first one is cruel, the second one is mushy, and the third and last of the trilogy, which is Arrow's fall, is sad. But overall I really liked this book.

Summary: Good....but the first was better!
Review: I'm not saying that this book isn't a good read, but it isn't the highlight of the series either.
It is, however, important in seeing into Talia's character more. In this book, she is sent out on her internship with Herald Kris. After having a small doubt put into her mind about her ability to conciously control her Gift, and whether or not she is using it to control the Council or to merely aid her in her duties, that doubt grows into something that could destroy her, and anyone around her.But Kris refuses to give up on her, and schools her in control of her Gift the only way he knows how- as a teacher, not a friend. And although he regrets having to be so tough, the result is more than proof that he made the right decision. You also get a good look into what exactly can go on in a circuit and internship, where no other book has given you this insight. That in itself was what made this book very worthwhile.

Summary: A decent book.
Review: I've read this book several times, and it's worth reading. It's the second book in the "Arrows" series, and has a rather middle-book feel to it. The first and second books were pretty good, though -- and this one was just average. There's no real climax to this book, in the plot. It stretches over Herald Talia's 1.5-year internship as a Herald, and pretty much just describes her "adventures" as they happen. It doesn't end with a bang -- the internship just is over, and she goes home. The main plot seemed to center on Talia controlling her Empathic gift -- and that really could have been skipped without detracting from the Arrows series. The trilogy really could have just consisted of two slightly longer books -- this one wasn't necessary for the overall Arrows plot. There were a few things that irked me. The lack of a climax was the main thing. Also, there was one 'battle' scene, that seemed horrible to me. In it, Talia and Herald Kris -- just the two of them -- fight raiders. Ten to fifteen raiders. So, they're outnumbered at least five to one. Neither of them are spectacular fighters -- in fact, Talia doesn't do that well in her fighting classes. So why does she tell Kris that ten to fifteen are enough for them to handle? They succeed, of course, without even a serious, Healer-needing injury. Ms. Lackey needs to realize that the good guys don't always have the advantage in the battle just because they're...well, the good guys. Overall, it was a decent book. I liked the character Kris, and if you go straight to Arrow's Fall (the best book in the series), it won't make any sense. Read it if you plan on finishing the series -- but not on it's own.

Summary: Talia's second adventure
Review: In Arrows Flight, the second book in the Heralds of Valdemar Series, Talia has finally become a Herald. And like all other Heralds, she has to go through her year and a half training on the field. She's very nervous about this but is relieved when she is put with the kind Kris. Unfortunately for Talia she faces more challenges than she expects. Not only does she have the normal responsibilities of a herald but she's starting to doubt her gifts. Rumors are circulating in court that she's using them in unethical ways, and Talia isn't sure what's they consider to be ethical. No one has ever had gifts like hers before so there's no one to show her how to use them. To top it off Talia and Kris are forced to work for survival during a dangerous storm unlike one they've ever seen. Although I didn't enjoy this book quite as much as Arrows of the Queen, the first in the series, Arrows Flight is still an amazing book about friendship, self discovery, and control. If you're a fan of the series, I recommend this book. Although it's not as suspenseful as the first book, It's very good.

Summary: Tartarus
Review: In Mercedes Lackey's Arrow's Flight, the sequel to Arrows of the Queen, Talia has finally earned her Whites and starts her internship with the Herald Kris. However, she starts to feel her control on her Gift slip as Kris informs her of rumors circulating around the Collegium of her abusing her Gift.
Arrow's Flight is certainly an unpredictable book. Of course, this is mostly due to the fact that there simply isn't anything to predict. There were a few places that could have lead up to something, but Mercedes Lackey's solution of just simply making them disappear is always a disappointment. The story basically goes along the lines of first they went to this town and this happened, then they went to this town and this happened, then they went to this town and this happened. Pointless scene after pointless scene keeps piling on to form a nonexistent plot.
I found myself tempted many times to stop reading. The only thing that got me to the end was the slowly diminishing hope that something, anything worthwhile might happen in the end. Still, after ¾ of the book: they went to this town and this happened, then they went to this town and this happened, then they went home. If you wish to read the entire Arrows trilogy, then perhaps Arrow's Flight is necessary to completely understand the final installment, Arrow's Fall, but personally, this monotonous book has trashed all the excitement I previously had for the series.

Summary: Delightful!
Review: It's always wonderful to read about someone getting their life together and being happy but rarely can you escape sugar with it. This book had just the right touch of 'feel-good' but it didn't get too mushy. I think that this is one of the best books I've read. The only ones ahead are her Last Herald-Mage books. This was a great way to show Talia coming into her own.
Rating:
Summary: Not as strong as the first
Review: It's the second of the original Mercedes Lackey Valdemar trilogy. It's not as strong as Arrows of the Queen (the first book) or Arrows Fall (the third book) but it's still good read.

Summary: A Well-written Tale of Friendship
Review: Talia has finally achieved the rank of Herald, and must now prove herself in the field for a year-and-a-half. She is partnered with Kris, a handsome young Herald. As she sets out, seeds of self-doubt are sown in Talia's mind when Kris talks to her about her unusual Heraldic Gift of Empathy (the ability to sense emotions and even manipulate them) as a favor to his power-hungry uncle. The doubt eats away at her, slowly eroding her control over her Gift, and unleashing a dangerous force that Talia must learn to control if she is to assume her place as Queen's Own Herald... "Arrow's Flight" is the second book in Mercedes Lackey's The Heralds of Valdemar Trilogy. I greatly enjoyed this book. It wasn't quite as good as the first and third books in this trilogy, but I think it sets up the stunning conclusion in "Arrow's Fall" absolutely perfectly. I found "Arrow's Flight" to be a much more emotional journey than its predecessor, "Arrows of the Queen." It's a wonderful tale of a growing friendship. Talia and Kris's interactions are realistic and entertaining. However, I would not recommend this book to younger readers that might be uncomfortable reading about sex. The sex is minimal (one or two scenes), but I was almost taken aback by its presence. Be forewarned. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience reading this book.
