I was very excited to see that Mercedes Lackey would be returning to Valdemar, and this book did not disappoint. Fun characters, adventure, and a world I've grown to love and enjoy visiting. My only real frustration is that I read the book so quickly, so now I have no new Valdemar reading until the next book comes out (well, there's that short story anthology that comes out soon; that should be interesting).
