A review by blaauwklavertje
The Last Herald-Mage by Mercedes Lackey

4.0

Another great read. With every trilogy set in the Valdemar world, I always need a couple of chapters to really get into the characters, but when that is done, I really get into the story and love every bit of it. I love Vanyel, even though he remains almost to the end a bit full of himself at times. But his heart is in the right place and he does learn from his mistakes eventually. You can feel the story building up to a great and bitter ending but you feel hope of a better ending all the way. And somehow you get both the bitter and the better. It takes a very good writer to pull that of and Mercedes Lackey did.
