(06/28/09) From Publishers Weekly Apprentice magician, ardent glassmaker and spunky Nancy Drewstyle sleuth Opal Cowan discovers her latent mystical talents and wins the attention of three gorgeous hunks in Snyder's follow-up to her award-winning Study fantasy series (Poison Study, etc.). In classic coming-of-age fashion, Opal uses her magic powers to help her loved ones and her glass know-how to find the flaws in the Stormdancers' weather-controlling glass orbs, all amid breathless adolescent quivers of romance and jealousy. Snyder satisfyingly fleshes out her youthful main characters, including the brooding Stormdancer Kade and Opal's venomous rival, Pazia, but the two-dimensional supporting cast, especially the simplistic villains, don't bear up as well under close inspection. The wealth of glassmaking lore compensates for the quick-moving but predictable plot, which leaves abundant room for at least two sequels.

(04/11/08) Two books are missing from this schedule. Both were due out in late 2008, but when Living with the Dead was moved to that slot, I worried that I couldnt pay proper editing attention to three books coming out in the same quarter. Its very important to me that increased quantity doesnt equal decreased quality. So two books originally due out in 2008 have been moved to early 2009: Men of the Otherworld anthology. For details on this, click here. Nadia Stafford book 2. The working title is Made to Be Broken. Expect a plot synopsis on my site by October and excepts by January 09. 2009 should also see book 2 of the Darkest Powers trilogy and book 10 of the Otherworld (fall 2009). Congratulations! Youve read to the bottom of a very long blog. Im going to give a copy of The Summoning or Living with the Dead (maybe even an advance copy) to one person who emails me at contest@kelleyarmstrong.com with the subject line Amazon Blog.

(11/08/07) "Arrows of the Queen" was the first book that Mercedes Lackey ever wrote in the world of Valdemar. It's also the first book in the trilogy. It's about a young woman, Talia, who lives in an oppressive household and runs away when she is told she has to marry. She's an imaginative and extremely shy and self-conscious young woman. She stumbles (literally) upon a Companion, a white horse of the Heralds of Valdemar who serve the monarchy. The Companion takes her to the capital where she goes into training to become a Herald and finds out that she has been chosen by a special Companion whose Herald is the Monarch's Own, sort of the one person the monarch can trust above all else. The first book is mainly about her intitial years at the capital, getting to know people, learning what Heralds are and do, and overcoming her extreme shyness. I read these books when I was about Talia's age and it meant a lot more to me then than it did now. I got into reading through Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar...See less

(11/08/07) Talia has finally achieved the rank of Herald, and must now prove herself in the field for a year-and-a-half. She is partnered with Kris, a handsome young Herald. As she sets out, seeds of self-doubt are sown in Talia's mind when Kris talks to her about her unusual Heraldic Gift of Empathy (the ability to sense emotions and even manipulate them) as a favor to his power-hungry uncle. The doubt eats away at her, slowly eroding her control over her Gift, and unleashing a dangerous force that Talia must learn to control if she is to assume her place as Queen's Own Herald... "Arrow's Flight" is the second book in Mercedes Lackey's The Heralds of Valdemar Trilogy. I greatly enjoyed this book. It wasn't quite as good as the first and third books in this trilogy, but I think it sets up the stunning conclusion in "Arrow's Fall" absolutely perfectly. I found "Arrow's Flight" to be a much more emotional journey than its predecessor, "Arrows of the Queen." It's a wonderful tale of a growing...See less

(11/08/07) I finished the third book the Arrows of the Queen trilogy, Arrows Fall, by Mercedes Lackey. It is by far the best novel of the three, but in the wider scheme of fiction and even fantasy...it remains mediocre. Since this book was written early in Lackey's writing career, you can see how her style and plots improve from one novel to the next. That said, the villians are still cardboard; right down to the evil laugh. The main characters, such as Talia, Dirk, Kris, and Elspeth, become more fleshed-out though. They become more understandable to the reader and their personalities finally become consistent. More than issue with the plot, this time, I find her writing style simplistic. The voices of the characters, their senses of humor, are very similar to each other. Everyone has an annoying cute petname like "catling" or "dearling" and too often, regular dialog is punctuated with exclamation marks. It gets annoying because it's over-used and unnecessary. I also had issues with the part of...See less

(11/08/07) Mercedes Lackey is one of those who has taken modern fantasy to the human level, and for that I honour her. I've re-read the Vanyel books a number of times, and there's good reason why they remain some of her fans' favourites. I'd say the one thing that I find most displeasing about the Vanyel books is the arbitrary presence of evil. We're told that the Heralds, the keepers of The Right in Lackey's world of Valdemar, are short lived because they're continually doing battle against BAD THINGS, but it's never really clear what those bad things are, where they come from or why they're bad. Magic's Pawn (and Magic's Price, the last book in the trilogy) ends with the main character doing battle with an evil Mage who seems to exist merely to do bad things to good people. This battle seems tacked on simply to provide a rousing finish to the book; there's very little build up to it and it has almost no connection to the rest of the story. To me, that's lazy writing. But the story really isn't...See less

(11/08/07) I went straight into Magic Promise after Magic Pawn. Magic Promise is just as spell binding. Not because of the fantasy aspects or the magic because I have read more imaginative ones. It is the protagonist, Vanyel, who imprisons me. I admit I am in love with this beautiful character. Twelve years after Magic Pawn, Vanyel is now a great herald-mage held in awe by all. Yet he remains sad and so much alone that my heart goes out to him. His struggles with his sexual preference, his attempt to make peace with his father and the arms master who tortured him during his boyhood and the loss of his soul mate 12 years ago which continues to haunt him is touching and beautifully told. Vanyel's pain as he conjures up his soul mate by magic because he misses him so much and Vanyel's final acceptance of his death is just heart rending. Vanyel facing Death, who gave him the choice to live to fight and protect those he loves or final peace and release from pain and sufferings towards the end of Magic...See less
