Interpretation Concering Books The Last Herald-Mage (Valdemar: The Last Herald-Mage #1-3)
I was extremely impressed with this series. While it is the typical fantasy storyline of young boy-discovers powers-becomes great hero, the emotional and psychological complexity of the individual characters makes this series truly unique. This series is also the best of Lackey's work that I have read so far, and definitely has more of an adult feel than the other books of hers that I have read. The main protagonist's story is so interesting that I wish that the author would return to his life and write about the time-periods between books that were referenced in the series.Point Books During The Last Herald-Mage (Valdemar: The Last Herald-Mage #1-3)

The Last Herald-Mage Trilogy by Mercedes Lackey is a compilation of three books that tell the story of Herald-Mage Vanyel, originally published separately as: Magics Pawn, Magics Promise, and Magics Price. This m/m fantasy collection starts with Magics Pawn that introduces Vanyel Ashkevron and details his harsh upbringing and eventual relocation to stay with his aunt, Herald-Mage Savil, where he learns to follow his heart and allows him to discover his own worth. Meeting the extremely talentedThis is the book I reread parts of most often and I wish I could explain why. I think Vanyel is the first guy I ever really had a crush on way back when I was 13. And he's gay, which explains much about my life . . .
It doesn't get much better than this. One of the best fantasy trilogies out there.
In Magic's Pawn, we find young Vanyel not fitting anywhere with his family. Lord Withen Askveron wants to make a man out young Vanyel thru weapons master Jervis.

Lord Withen announces that Vanyel will be going to Haven to live withh his Aunt Savil. Everyone at Forst Reach is relieved to see young Vanyel leave. Arriving in Haven, Vanyel
I am currently reading/re-reading all of Mercedes Lackey's books and this one has always been my favorite. I fell hoplessly in love with Vanyel and with Valdamar. I felt that this time around I paid more attention to some of the details and understood more about the history as well. I have to say that three times around now, I still cried and laughed and was infected with anxiety at different places in the story. I have to say that I adored this book and know that one of these days, I will visit
this trilogy was so good it made me cry and also prompted me to read every Mercedes Lackey book I could get my hands on.
An old favoriteBack when discussing homosexuality in fiction was risky, there were these books. Told with a deft hand, these stories hold up amazingly well, despite the amount of self-hate and shame still lingering. Choice, and support for that clarity remains a hallmark of the Valdemar stories, but here is its champion. Great set of stories.
