Another awesome book by the absolute gem Mercedes Lackey

Enough of Mags! These books have been going on long enough. (I know there are several more after this one, but I can still make my point.)
There is nothing extraordinary about this book. It's a book. It tells a story. It goes on too long and wraps up too fast. It did not need to be written.

A 7/10 compared to the rest of the Mags books. The multiple pov’s subtract rather that add to the narrative. I do have a lot of “poor young mags before everything became so perfect and easy” feels

I have Mercedes Lackey for years upon years. I have got to say her villian in this story wasn't flushed out. All I saw was a cliché bad guy and how easily the story was wrapped up. It wasn't action packed and seemed a bit boring. Although her world building was excellent and all the other characters were interesting. I think she just needed to spend more time the story.

Did not disappoint. I like the older Mags and Amily and their interactions. The increasing storyline around Lady Dia and now her husband Steveral is a welcome addition too.

Better than the first one, though I'm beginning to wonder a bit about all the people in Valdemar who don't seem to *get* Valdemar. On a completely unrelated note, *cough cough,* from here in August 2018 it seems strange that this book was finished and published way back in 2015.
Also, the editor *really* should have made Lackey take out the large blocks of explanatory stuff that were in this one *twice.* It's already annoying to have to skim through all that, which seems to appear in every one of her books lately, once.
