In this chronicle of the early history of Valdemar, Mercedes Lackeys bestselling world, a thirteenyear- old orphan named Magpie escapes a life of slavery in the gem mines when he is chosen by one of the magical Companion horses of Valdemar to be trained as a Herald. Thrust into the center of a legend in the making, Magpie discovers talents he never knew he hadand witnesses the founding of the great Heralds Collegium. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fantastic start to a trilogyI really enjoyed this book with a different time setting and characters I did not know. Mags takes ignorance of the world and gains a completely new outlook. I especially enjoyed the problems that were being faced in Haven with the numbers of new Chosen coming to the city. Everything in Valdemar is not always joy and happiness. I hope that the sudden ending leads to another book following Mags and Dallen quickly as I had a difficult time putting the book down even when finished.

I continue to think that there is something about this world that brings out the very best in Ms. Lackey. My only complaint is that the book wasn't longer. Rating:  - What? Did I read this?I LOVE Misty's work--Love it, Love it, Love it...normally. I have every Valdemar book there is to own. So, of course I camped out at the Mall the day of the release of the book to make sure I got my hard-back copy. It's been sitting on my nightstand and I'm almost finished with it. It's been quite a while since this book was released, but I'm so bored with this book that I keep forgetting to finish it. I don't mind Mags, it's just that this book spins it's wheels.
