The Heralds of Valdemar (A Valdemar Omnibus)
The Heralds of Valdemar (A Valdemar Omnibus) | Mercedes Lackey
8 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
A VALDEMAR OMNIBUS Collecting the New York Times bestsellers: ARROWS OF THE QUEEN ARROW'S FLIGHT ARROW'S FALL Thirteen-year-old Talia longs for a better life, far away from her repressive stepmothers and the village of Sensholding, where books chronicling the adventures of the Heralds of Valdemar and their Companions offer her only escape. But when her family decide she is to be married, Talia flees, only to be rescued by one of the very Companions of legend, a magical steed with incredible powers. Talia soon discovers she has powers of her own, and, together with her Companion, she arrives at the Collegium to fulfil her dreams and train as a Herald. But as Talia struggles to master her unique abilities, she unearths a deadly plot that could destroy both Queen and kingdom. The Heralds of Valdemar omnibus sees Talia grow from teenage runaway to a Herald whose powers will affect the future of the entire realm.

1. The Complete Arrow‘s Trilogy: Arrow‘s Fall

- I‘m loving Arrow‘s Fall compared to Arrow‘s Flight.

2. My indoor #greenhouse (using an IKEA Detolf Cabinet).

- It‘s hard growing plants in the desert.

3. Jim Henson‘s The Storyteller: Ghosts #1 by Márk László.

- I really enjoyed this graphic novel.

Currently reading Arrow‘s Flight 🤯 Kris and Talia??? Wth, why??? Totally turned off.

GondorGirl Keep reading... I don't want to spoil anything, but you'll probably be happy it happened later in the trilogy. 3y
vumblereads @GondorGirl oh thanks! Something to look forward to! Almost finished with Arrow‘s Flight. 3y
GondorGirl @vumblereads The Valdemar books are my favorites ever. I've been reading them since I was 15 and have read the entire series multiple times. I can't wait to hear what you think about the rest of this trilogy. 3y

vumblereads Okay will let you know! 😊 3y
vumblereads @GondorGirl finished the trilogy! I know what you mean now when you mentioned something about later in the series. I found the 3 books okay, I feel like it could be better? But since it was written earlier (80‘s?), I think it was pretty good especially since it has LGBTQ themes in it. Didn‘t think there would be rape in there too. Im not a fan of the second book though, there really wasn‘t much plot but only character development I guess for talia 3y
vumblereads @GondorGirl what other valdemar books do you recommend? 3y
GondorGirl @vumblereads A number of years later she wrote the Wind trilogy which follows Elspeth. I think those are my favorite books in the entire series. The Arrows books are where it all started, but the series evolved a lot over the years. 3y
GondorGirl @vumblereads I also really love the Owl trilogy, which follows the Hawkbrothers more than the Heralds. 3y
vumblereads @GondorGirl aww I‘d like to know what happened to Elspeth! Thanks! 3y

#currentlyreading Mercedes Lackey‘s The Complete Arrows Trilogy. Someone had told me this was a fast read, but I‘m really just falling fast asleep on this one. First 3 pages and I‘m already dozing off. Has anyone read this and have you felt the same way about it? #sleepingaid #fantasybooks #arrowstrilogy #youngadult #fantasy #feminism

mreads When I read it I was a tween going through a horse phase 😁 6y
vumblereads @mreads you know I am kind of going through a horse phase 😂😂 and I‘m in my 30‘s but always feel like I‘m 16. 6y
Rudis I remember loving the series when I first read it, and I still have my old omnibus. I hope you like it! 6y
vumblereads @rudis she‘s met Rolan and now it starting to get interesting 6y
kgriffith This was my intro to fantasy! Stick with it, if you love the world there are so many more just as good if not better 😍 6y

“Who would you be in a YA fantasy novel?”
This was a fun quiz. I‘ve had Valdemar on the brain lately, it may be time to revisit. http://www.epicreads.com/blog/ya-fantasy-novel-quiz/

kgriffith I also sent this to two of my closest bookish friends and we‘re all the most fearsome assassins! 6y
Dragon Fun quiz! I‘m the Evil Monarch 👍🐉 6y

My other amazing bookstore find today was this leather bound collector's volume of the first two Arrows books. I was so scared it was priced wrong and could barely set it on the counter to get rung up. I keep hugging it. ❤❤❤

Thank you @LazyOwl ! Fantasy has always been my first and foremost love. I think it started when my mom read me the Wrinkle in Time books or the Susan Cooper Dark is Rising series. I can't pick a favorite so I'm going with the first series I read on my own at 8 or so (zero censorship in my house lol): the Valdemar series by Mercedes Lackey. It completely and totally transported me! #nybirthdaygiveaway

BethM Oh and happy birthday @LazyOwl ! 🎂🍦🥂🎈🎁🎉 7y
LazyOwl Thanks so much. I haven't read that one yet. Will have to add it to my TBR 😊 7y
BethM @LazyOwl the series is probably 15 deep :) 7y
