octavia_cade 's review for:
The Heralds of Valdemar
by Mercedes Lackey
I read and reviewed all three of the books collected here separately, so this is basically for my own records. The rating is an average of the individual ratings - both Arrows of the Queen and Arrow's Flight earned three stars from me. They were likeable young adult fantasy with an emphasis on kindness and a great protagonist. That being said, they often meandered a little too much and together, they read like an extended introduction to the trilogy as a whole. That flaw was fixed in the final volume, Arrow's Fall, which had a number of enjoyable things about it... until the gang rape of the protagonist, an event handled so poorly within the novel that honestly, it spoiled all my enjoyment not only of it, but of the series as a whole. Two stars for that one, and that's being generous. The first two volumes might be worth rereads again one day, but I'll not be bothering with the last again.
