Reminds me more than a little of "Arrows of the Queen", the very first Valdemar book--very similar set of character types, story set-up, and execution. Even some plot elements and scenarios closely mirror Talia's experiences. Original, this is not. However, it's better than some of the other Lackey books I've read in the last few years, and this might be a good book to hand to a young person as an introduction to the Valdemar series, much as "Arrows" is. Not too much weight from previous books, but hints are there if you look for them. An enjoyable but light read.
