Well, I've read this one only once before... and I didn't remember much of it. Though I must admit... I didn't much care for it. It was quite slow - it just took a long time go get going. Still, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't very good. I'm surprised that I didn't like it more, considering how much I like Skif in later books. He just wasn't as funny, or charming... and there were conflicting facts in his story too...Not to mention it took him FOREVER to be Chosen! But, I am VERY excited to read the next books!!

This is one of those books that's easy to pick up again. All the characters are old friends, fun to revisit. I must have read it a dozen times. Great adventure and humor throughout.

Its a good book and if you're already a Mercedes Lackey fan you'll enjoy it. If you have never read anything by Lackey before I suggest starting with a different one. This book draws upon and references her previous works a lot.
