"The Epic World of Valdemar Returns"

Fresh Fiction Review

Changes

Reviewed by Kathyrn Little
Posted November 14, 2011

Young Adult | Fantasy

The world of Valdemar will continue to enchant readers in the third novel of this powerful story. The characters in this novel are developing further into adults. The reader will love viewing the more mature versions of the characters he/she has come to love over the years. Mags is transforming into a spy for Valdemar, a world he acknowledges a deep love for. He completely devotes himself to the King and his world, regardless of the cost to himself. The only possible complaint about Mags would be the dialect he speaks in. The dialect can make it difficult to understand and connect with his character at times. This book contains the four teen characters slowly maturing and discovering their purpose in life as well as a fantasy world that will amaze the reader. The author writes with a care for detail, the reader will be able to picture this intriguing world. The events were fairly fast-paced, there were a few slower scenes, however. This book would be recommended to fans of the first two books.

SUMMARY

Enter the thrilling third volume in the epic Collegium Chronicles. In Mercedes Lackey's classic coming-of-age story, the orphan Magpie pursues his quest for his parent's identity with burning urgency-while also discovering another hidden talent and being trained by the King's Own Herald as an undercover agent for Valdemar. Shy Bardic Trainee Lena has to face her famous but uncaring father, one of Valdemar's most renowned Bards. And Healing Trainee Bear must struggle against his disapproving parents, who are pressuring Bear to quit the Healers' Collegium because he lacks the magical Healing Gift. Each of the three friends must face his or her demons and find their true strength as they seek to become the full Heralds, Bards, and Healers of Valdemar.
