Commentary Concering Books The Last Herald-Mage (Valdemar: The Last Herald-Mage #1-3)
I was extremely impressed with this series. While it is the typical fantasy storyline of young boy-discovers powers-becomes great hero, the emotional and psychological complexity of the individual characters makes this series truly unique. This series is also the best of Lackey's work that I have read so far, and definitely has more of an adult feel than the other books of hers that I have read. The main protagonist's story is so interesting that I wish that the author would return to his life and write about the time-periods between books that were referenced in the series.Define Based On Books The Last Herald-Mage (Valdemar: The Last Herald-Mage #1-3)

I just reread this trilogy for the first time since before college. It was better than I remembered!Brilliant writing. And as much as I enjoy all of the Valdemar books, I agree with the folks who say the more recent ones don't hold a candle to the first two trilogies that were written. These books kept me invested in the characters for 900 pages, and still wanting more.I was extremely impressed with this series.

One of my favorite series hands down. It made me fall in love with Mercedes Lackey and the land of Valdemar. Vanyel's story is beautiful. He is one of the most well written characters I have ever had the joy of getting to know. I would recommend reading this book to anyone who is an avid book lover. This book is an emotional roller coaster that I enjoy going back to again and again.
An old favoriteBack when discussing homosexuality in fiction was risky, there were these books. Told with a deft hand, these stories hold up amazingly well, despite the amount of self-hate and shame still lingering. Choice, and support for that clarity remains a hallmark of the Valdemar stories, but here is its champion. Great set of stories.
When we talk about writers that are good story tellers but not necessarily good, well, writers, Lackey is always top of the list. I am very well aware of her many, many technical faults, but that doesn't mean I don't have a shelf and a half of her books.I've read all the books that follow this, so there was a certain...lack of tension, although it was nice to have some of the holes filled in. And it says something that even while I'm mentally picking the book apart I still couldn't put it down.
This is the book I reread parts of most often and I wish I could explain why. I think Vanyel is the first guy I ever really had a crush on way back when I was 13. And he's gay, which explains much about my life . . .
Mercedes Lackey is my favorite fiction writer. When I discovered her works while pre-reading one book for my then 12-year old daughter (books did not have ratings) I was entering an unfamiliar genre. By the end of the first book in the Valdemar series I was in love. I ordered a dozen more and then another dozen. All the books were acceptable to me for my 11 and 12 year old daughters. All three of us devoured them and they gave us a common topic for dinner conversations for the next several
