Chronicle In Pursuance Of 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.Present Books Toward The Last Herald-Mage (Valdemar: The Last Herald-Mage #1-3)

The Last Herald-Mage Trilogy by Mercedes Lackey is a compilation of three books that tell the story of Herald-Mage Vanyel, originally published separately as: Magics Pawn, Magics Promise, and Magics Price. This m/m fantasy collection starts with Magics Pawn that introduces Vanyel Ashkevron and details his harsh upbringing and eventual relocation to stay with his aunt, Herald-Mage Savil, where he learns to follow his heart and allows him to discover his own worth. Meeting the extremely talented
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.
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
I just finished this entire trilogy and LOVED IT. I love it so much, I started reading a library book and ended up buying a copy for myself. This book is that good. I'll be reading it over and over and over again. This trilogy deals with several very serious issues in a straightforward way, despite all the magic in the books. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes reading fantasy and gay romance. That was another thing I enjoyed about this book was the straightforward way it handled the gay
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.
