A big let down,
By
This review is from: Heralds Of Valdemar Trilogy #3 Arrows Fall (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm not really sure where these other reviews are coming from. I first started on Mercedes Lackey with The Obsidian Trilogy and was astounded with the quality of the writing, more specifically, the amazing pacing and how story-line could be so tightly woven without seeming convenient. These elements are completely missing from this whole series! The stories drag, the plot-line seems to be a compilation of incessant problems with oh-so-convenient solutions, and even the truly climactic points are ruined by the terrible pacing. Almost the entire story is narrative-style (This happened, then this, then this... ya da ya da ya.), so the reader never quite feels "in the action." Rarely was I engaged in the story. And the ending... the ending was terrible! It left the true climax of the story out to hang without conclusion and sidelined over into her "lifebond" with Dirk. So a queen is really going to pack up in the middle of a war she's running to go to a WEDDING? Are you kidding me?

Another very good Trilogy,
This review is from: Heralds Of Valdemar Trilogy #3 Arrows Fall (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a very emotional ending to the story of the new Queen's Own, Herald Talia. This is a very good Trilogy, but it IS a trilogy. I think you would be advised to read this set in order, Because there is no time lost, as in The Last Herald-Mage Trilogy. If I had started with this trilogy, I don't think I would have become such a fan of Misty. It IS very good. The overall story gripped me, as it did with TLHM. But I did not 'click' with Talia, like I did with Vanyel. (This is of course my opinion, and I know many others who think this story is the best.)

Great Ending to a Great Series,

This review is from: Heralds Of Valdemar Trilogy #3 Arrows Fall (Mass Market Paperback)
As you followed Talia through the first two books in the Arrows trilogy, you saw her grow and prosper under the guidance and care of those in the Collegium.Now, after finally completing her classes, and receiving her Whites, she is sent on a mission, with Herald Kris, to investigate a marriage proposal from Prince Ancar of Hardorn, to Elspeth, Heir to the throne of Valdemar. Everyone has their doubts, and wants those doubts calmed and dismissed before they accept the proposal. But what Talia and Kris discover dismisses the sincerety of Prince Ancar's proposal without a second thought: Ancar, along with Hulda, a Mage who had tried to overthrow the throne of Valdemar, and undermine Elspeth (when she was young), are now trying to overthrow the throne of Hardorn. Not only do they try- they suceed. We lose one of our favorite characters, and see two of our other favorite characters through a very happy event. And although this book will make you yell, laugh, and cry, it is worth every second.
