2.0 out of 5 stars A big let down, Aug 10 2007

By	B. Leggans (Illinois) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Heralds Of Valdemar Trilogy #3 Arrows Fall (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?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Ending to a Great Series, Sep 13 2003

By	Rachel Weatherby "rose_of_rohan" (Hillsboro, OR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Heralds Of Valdemar Trilogy #3 Arrows Fall (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spellbinding, Oct 30 2002

By	Kat McCarthy (Virginia USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heralds Of Valdemar Trilogy #3 Arrows Fall (Paperback)

This is an extremely good end to an equally good trilogy. I was literally in tears through the last three or four chapters. It's got everything, pain and torture for you sadists out there, heartbreaking romance for the deathless romantics (::waves to fellow deathless romantics::) and action/adventure for the heroic types. Mercedes Lackey skillfully brings all these threads together in a well-crafted book. READ IT!
