4.0 out of 5 stars Believable? Perhaps, Feb 11 2006

By	Rylin "Rylin" (Edmonds, Wa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heralds Of Valdemar Trilogy #1 Arrows Of The Queen (Paperback)

Here you have someone who not only starts out with no abitlity but suddenly is able to do and overcome everything. I don;t know about that. What you need is a hero who makes mistakes, almost dies, suffers greivous wounds, but still manages to make it the climactic showdown at the end. The Unsuspecting Mage is like that, by Brian S. Pratt. He's new, but his character almost kills himself as well as those around him everytime he tries something new.
I did enjoy this, for what it is, but I think The Unsuspecting Mage is superior in this respect

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, long series (YES!!!!!!!!!), May 16 2004

By	Zee-O "nonvotphod" (Victoria, BC CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heralds Of Valdemar Trilogy #1 Arrows Of The Queen (Paperback)

At first I was reluctant to read Mercedes Lackey. The reason was, for one, she'd written so many books, and in my experience, authors who write that much just put the first thoughts that come to there heads and publish it, ending up with poor plots and characters. The second reason was that one of my friends read the Magic's Pawn first. Now, though she doesn't descriminate against homosexuals at all, she just didn't want to hear about it. So while I was at her house and she was reading I kept hearing "Ew!", "Gross!", or screaming and I'd see her with the book face down on the ground and her making "Eww, broccolli. . ." faces.
But I knew that her and I had very different tastes (she likes r. jordan, and I like k. britain) so I read the book.
Now all I can do is wait for the second book to come in because it's not in the library and it's not at the bookstore, and I can't go to the other bookstore because I'm grounded. Gaaaaaah. This is the type of series where you RRREEEAAALLLLYYY want the next book and can't stop thinking about it.
