Sobre El Autor

Fantasy fiction author Mercedes Richie Lackey was born in Chicago on June 24, 1950, and she received a B.S. from Purdue University in 1972. She is also a professional lyricist and has rehabilitated raptors. Lackey started writing her own short stories when her favorite science fiction and fantasy mostrar más authors weren't producing new books fast enough for her. She began writing professionally with the encouragement of author C. J. Cherryh, whom Lackey had met at a science fiction convention. Many of Lackey's books, including the Queen's Own trilogy, the Vows and Honor series, Valdemar: family Spies, and the Last Herald-Mage and Mage Winds trilogies, take place in the imaginary world of Valdemar. She has authored numerous series, including the Bardic Voices series and a series of occult mysteries featuring Diana Tregarde, a modern-day witch. Lackey enjoys collaborating and has co-written books with authors such as C.J. Cherryh, Anne McCaffrey, Piers Anthony, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Mark Shepherd, and Ru Emerson. Her title Redoubt made The New York Times Best Seller List for 2012. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Reseñas

Talia has one more step to conquer on her way to being a full Herald. She has to complete her internship while riding a circuit. Her mentor for this journey is Kris. Talia has an unusual psychic gift: she's a mind healer and a very powerful one. Because this is an unusual gift which appears most often in healers, her mentors among the Heralds don't know how to help her get control of her gift. And it doesn't help that rumors are circulating through Court that she is prone to misuse her gift.

Kris has been briefed by his uncle Lord Orthalan about the rumors which make it difficult for him to trust her. Talia senses his distrust which makes her own doubts even more powerful. When her shields fail, she becomes a danger to herself and to Kris too.

It is while the pair are snowed in at a Herald's shelter that Kris realizes that Talia lacks the basics of controlling any gift and determines to bring her back to the beginning and teach her the correct way to use her gift. During their period of isolation, Kris and Talia become lovers which makes Talia fear that she's used her gift to influence his behavior and Kris to feat that his noted attraction to women has caused Talia's reaction to him. Both know that Talia really is falling in love with Kris's partner Dirk.

There are a number of opportunities for Talia to practice the skills needed by Haralds from border disputes, to deranged servant girls, to murders, and to plague. Kris tells her that her practice on the circuit will stand her in good stead as she deals with the politics of the Court in her role as Queen's Own.

This was an excellent middle book in the Heralds of Valdemar trilogy.

This coming-of-age fantasy introduces readers to the kingdom of Valdemar. Talia is a young girl from the edge of Valdemar. Her people are holderkin - poor and patriarchal. When she turns thirteen, Talia is given the choice of marrying or becoming a servant of the goddess. She decides to run away.

Having secretly read stories of Heralds and Companions, she has dreamed of being a Herald herself. But her total ignorance of the world outside her family's gates makes this a very difficult goal. However, Rolan who was the Companion to the Queen's Own has gone off on a quest after the death of the Queen's Own to find another. He chooses Talia.

This excellent story introduces a world to us as readers and to Talia as she discovers her new life. From learning what it means to really be a Herald of Valdemar and what it is to be a target for the same conspiracy that murdered the previous Queen's Own, Talia has a lot to learn. She makes friends, discovers her talents, and finds her life's purpose as the story goes on.

This story, published in 1987, is the first in a trilogy and the first of the multitude of Valdemar books which followed it including new titles to be published in 2024 and 2025.

I was not a fan of the 1st few chapters, but the book quickly picked up. I love the depth of the characters and the exciting story throughout.

These anthologies are always good, but this one was particularly fun as all the stories were humorous this time around. Even Companions can join in when planning pranks.
