tallyhotel 's review for:
Arrow's Fall
by Mercedes Lackey
*Deep sigh* Still a five star read. Still brings tears to my eyes. I keep shaking my head every time the narrator says Karse as car-see, but that's a me problem. It never occured to 14 year old me to pronounce it that way. LOL. Otherwise, the narrator is fabulous. Same one for all three books.
In my opinion, this trilogy is where you start for Valdemar, even though it's labeled Valdemar #27 or some such. It was #1 in publishing order! It's the best imo, because Talia learns what is going on at the same rate we do...it's a good plot device!
It took me this reread to catch that Kris' family loses a Shin'a'in (sp?) stallion in the floods, and that the loss will be hard to replace...
I always thought the Shin'a'in in the later books came out of nowhere...but there they were (that reference might have been book 2? Convo with Orthallen about home). Not that it really matters, but it gave me a smile to realize.
It's been a good 20 years since I've read these books and honestly I was a bit afraid to go back and read them again. Sometimes you just can't go home. However, these stood up every bit to the memory I had and I couldn't be more pleased with this reread.
