This book was the first that I read by Lackey, and I was hooked! The Valdemar world that she has created is very detailed an will draw you in. Since then I have been reading anything by Lackey I can get my hands on and I have yet to be disappointed.

I enjoyed this book. Dramatic ending. Sad.

This book is very poignant, very powerful, and somewhat depressing. Mercedes Lackey is a fantastic writer and this is one of her best works. It really draws you in and involves you in the tale, and you really feel for the characters. It is not necessary to know everything about the Valdemar Heralds and their world to read this book, although prior knowledge does help. If you are looking for an emotionally-charged story, look no further!

My favorite Valdemar tale. A young boy with the gift to start fires with his mind goes from a bullied student to the hope of the kingdom.
