A review by xeni
Queen's Own by Mercedes Lackey
5.0
This was the second series that I had ever read in the Valdemar Universe. And it freaked me out a bit. I am surprised that Lackey started with Talia when she started writing... jumped right in there and took one of the scariest situations ever for a woman and wrote it into book three. I suppose if you made it through book one and two, you'd be a little more prepared for what happens in the last book, but I certainly wasn't.
Still, it didn't put me off the series, or the world! I love Valdemar so much (can I move there?!?) that even (or especially because) Lackey deals with such controversial issues such as torture, rape, child labor, etc I am still interested. I suppose part of that is due to the fact that her heroes and heroine's always manage to come out on top one way or another!
Talia is not my favorite character. She's just too sweet, too shy and too cute for me. But I do love some of the side characters that appear in this series!
