As with the rest of this series, the main character is put through the emotional mill in spades and it's a big emotional wallow. There is also a sequence when he is subjected to gratuitous brutality. Overall, not keen. ( )
I like the books Mercedes Lackey writes, she is good at creating a believable world and people to populate it. While her writing is not the strongest I do find it engaging ang and enjoyable. I like a series I can live inside of and her books are ones that have characters I feel invested in and a world I believe could exist. ( )
I could not put it down for long and will reread this trilogy again. There were several points that touched me more than I had expected. More than other books have.
This is a trilogy about Vanyel's life, his frustrations, personal & family growth, victories & sacrifices for something bigger than himself.
I liked I, hopefully you will too.
Will have to see if she wrote anything about Valdemar after Vanyel's death. ( )

To this day, that gittern is grown into the tree it leaned against then, the goldenoak's roots entwined about its strings in a gentle embrace, and there are bright days, when the wind whispers through the trees, that the Forest of Sorrows seems the most inappropriate name possible.
