Our view
Talia’s training becomes a test of conscience in “Arrow’s Flight”, and the “Heralds of Valdemar” series gains depth for it. Mercedes Lackey leads her through the last stage before her post beside the Queen, and shows what a Herald’s work involves. Some readers value a heroine whose story never hinges on romance; others are put off by a dip in her confidence that undercuts the first book’s ending.
