" I read this one, and I barely remember it.. But it's by Lackey, so it must be okay. "

" This is the first book I read of Lackey's - I now own the whole series and a few more. Good read with a great world and fast paced enough to keep you reading when you should be sleeping. "

" Basically, this is a rewrite of McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern, but without the trace science-fictional trappings, and with horses instead of dragons. "

" While not perfect I can understand why so many friends have recommended it over the years. "

" Her first Valdemar book, and one worth reading again. Very good descriptions. Young adult, so keep that in mind "

" On loan from the boyfriend's sister. Fantasy hasn't been my typical fare lately, but I'm getting into it. Good thing it's the first of a series ;) "

" This was the first book by Mercedes Lackey I ever read. I was in 8th grade. It was really good and lead me to the rest of the books she wrote, and I continue to read her new releases. I reread it, and it's still a fun book. Good introduction to the world of companions and the queens own. "

" The first four Heralds of Valdemar are the best of Lackey (I've read ~12 of hers). The second novel is only OK. The first is definitely the best. "

" I like the series, but the plots are remarkably similar - hard luck kid gets Chosen, struggles a bit, then finds his/her place. "

" My favorite fantasy author and possibly my favorite author period. This first Trilogy is one of the best. "
-

" Mercedes Lackey is my very most favorite author. I've only listed this book here because it's the one to start with and it would take way too long to add all of them. "

" Really fun. I enjoyed a lot of things about this. I enjoyed how Lackey didn't hide from having her character deal with long-term verbal abuse, and I liked that it was frank about sex. It was just a really fun take on the fantasy genre, and I will definitely be reading the sequel. "

" Way back in middle school, I devoured this series and cried quarts over the third book. I thought I would try them to see how I thought they stood up. It was pretty cliched--very Chosen One who turns out to have ALL the powers--but it's also deftly done, which helps a lot. (Dec 2011) "

" This book got me hooked on Mercedes Lackey. The series may have some triggers for some people though. "
