Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

Trained from childhood in the arts of war, Alberich strives to walk a careful path between obedience to the priests of Vkandis Sunlord and fairness to the soldiers under his command and the people of his native land of Karse. His attempts to hide his heretical gift of precognition, however, earn him a sentence of death by fire, thwarted by a bold rescue seemingly engineered by his faithful white battle steed-in actuality one of the Companions of the Heralds of Valdemar. Lackey continues her popular Valdemar series with the story of Alberich, Weaponsmaster and Queen's Champion of a land he was taught to fear and hate, as he struggles to redefine the meaning of the honor he holds so dear while learning to accept the magic he once tried to conceal. Libraries should anticipate demand for this highly recommended fantasy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good stand alone adventure, May 4 2004
By C. Watson "grrlfrrday" (Milpitas, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just so you know where I'm coming from, my favorite Valdemar series is "The Last Herald Mage". "Exile's Honor" is not as good as that series, but it is a good stand-alone adventure. For Vanyel fans, it's interesting to see the damage that Vanyel (Last Herald-Mage) did when he threw back those magic beasts into Karse and caused the Karsites to banish magic and hunt down magic-users. I bet he didn't think that he would cause such a repressive society to be born!

Alberich is a product of the repressive Karsite society. He has learned to guard his tongue and not act in a way to draw attention to himself. Of course, having visions of the future, and then being chosen by a Companion and taken to the court of Valdemar isn't exactly anonymous behavior! He has a difficult time reconciling his new duties as a Herald with the tales he has been told of Heralds and their demon mounts.

Overall, this is a good addition to the Valdemar universe. This book is more likely to be appreciated by readers who have read one or more of the previous series. Most of the explanations happen in "Magic's Pawn" (The Last Herald Mage) and "Arrows of the Queen" (Heralds of Valdemar). If you're new to Valdemar, you should start with those books first.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mercedes phoned this in, May 27 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Exiles Honor (Paperback)
Before anyone gets mad at me, just know that I've been a fan for a very long time and reread many of her books over and over again.

This book was poorly written, with bad character development, and just plain awful. Even having familiar beloved characters didn't help the story.

Don't buy it and don't read it. I bought Joust at the same time, and was pleasantly surprised by it, so if you need a new series by Mercedes Lackey, go to Joust.

I am not done reading this yet, but I just got into the section where we first see Myste and she might as well be walking around with a sign that says Mary Sue on it. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent addition to the valdemar cannon
I admit, I waited for this to come out in paperback. I had been so dissapointed by the last few Valdemar books that I couldn't go out and pay 22 dollars for it. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars For those familiar with Valdemar.
As always, a fantastic read. Literally couldn't put it down (much to my boss's dismay). I found the quality of writing better than Lackey's usual (which is quite good anyway)... Read more

This was the first book I had tried of Mercedes Lackey, and I found I was simply not able to get involved enough to finish it. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars a lightweight Valdemar novel
I feel that Mercedes Lackey's recent writings have been divided into two categories: light-weight feel-good fantasy and gritty, gripping immersive worlds. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Fantastic Lackey Book!
I truly enjoyed this book, and can't wait until the second one is shipped to my home. This book tells the story of Herald Alberich, the foreign Herald we met in Take A Thief,... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Compelling but odd
I bought this book knowing next to nothing about Mercedes Lackey and Valdemar; mind you, I still know very little of Lackey and Valdemar, so please forgive any asinine comments,... Read more
