Owlknight (Valdemar: Owl Mage Trilogy #3) 
Probably 2 1/2 stars, really. It wasn't a bad book, but I've read better of Lackey's. The pacing seemed very wrong - the first 2/3 of the book are describing the social/political structure of Valdemar and the characters' relational problems. The "main" plot is finally introduced about 100 pages before the end, and then hurriedly dealt with. The result is a slow first part of the book, a very gripping last few chapters, and an epilogue that would have been better expanded. Not a bad book, but
Good readGreat sequel and very enjoyable reading...would definitely recommend this series and will look forward to more like this one Mercedes

I think I have decided that Larry Dixon is the one writing most of this series but since it's a story set in Lackey's created world, her name is also on the book. I think this is the case because I remember liking Mercedes Lackey's book more than I liked this series. It wasn't bad but the story could have been written better. I found I was really looking forward to finishing the series more than discovering what happened in the end. I liked the second book of this series the most. This one made
Lackey's novels are, to me, the reading equivalent of a delicious snack. They're easy to read, they have some fun characters, and there's magic, talking (sort of) horses, adventures, heroes, and trained birds. An additional nice thing about these books was that they were among the first that introduced me to relationships other than just straight m/f. I take them out regularly for re-reads.The Owl Mage trilogy is interesting because it steps outside Valdemar, although I think it's one of the
Once again, this book starts off with about eight chapters of slice-of-life information that, while interesting, isn't really necessary or relevant to the plot. And that knocks the pacing out of whack. The main plot feels truncated and choppy, with the resolution crammed into the last 60 or so pages. Much of the initial conflict between main characters feels contrived, and is never formally resolved on the page. I won't go into how irritated I was by the idea of a Herald who thinks a conflict in
Just kind of meh. The storyline isn't terrible but it's compressed to the point of not making sense (Darian suddenly remembers he wants to find his parents, ten years after they disappeared?) and the romantic plots aren't developed enough to have the impact they should. If Lackey wanted us to be invested in Shandi and Steelmind, they should have been POV characters, and Darian and Keisha's conflict was just stupid. Everyone was too oblivious to live when the plot required it, right up to the

The Owl trilogy is the one trilogy I remember the least; not sure if that's because it's the last, or just the ones I've read the least. By this time, people should have read the other two books in the series. In this one, Darian finally goes looking for his parents, with Keisha, Shandi and some of the Hawkbrothers, and assorted others. They travel through the northern lands with all the tribes (we never find out whether or not it's a different country or part of Valdemar, really, although I'mProbably 2 1/2 stars, really.
