The Complete Arrows Trilogy | Mercedes Lackey

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.

The Complete Arrows Trilogy | Mercedes Lackey

This post contains spoilers

show me

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

Arrows of the Queen | Mercedes Lackey

Now reading page 165.

I‘m trying to understand what Talia‘s real “gift” or powers are. I‘m underwhelmed by what she can do especially considering that she‘s the STAR of the book. 🤷🏻‍♀️

#heralds #valdemar #collegium

Leniverse It's the classical YA heroine thing, even though this was written before YA was a genre (and the series contains some adult scenes that might need trigger warnings). She's been underestimated by everyone including herself all her short life, and her Gift is a rare one, so even the Heralds don't know what to make of her at first. She'll come into her own. But it's a trilogy, so you need to be patient with the journey. 🙂 6y

vumblereads @leniverse I just finished Arrows of the Queen, and I‘m starting to see how important her gift is. Thanks for explaining everything to me 😊 6y

Arrows of the Queen | Mercedes Lackey

Has anyone read this book? I haven‘t finished reading it yet but the book has a remarkable semblance to Harry Potter. What‘s more interesting is that it was written BEFORE the Harry Potter books. Which makes me think, did JK Rowling get her ideas from older YA fantasy? #jkrowling #harrypotter #yafantasy #arrows #heralds #talia #mercedeslackey #trilogy #highfantasy

OneCent76 I haven't read it yet but now you have me curious! 6y

vumblereads @OneCent76 yes please do! Would like to hear your thoughts on it 6y

Leniverse There other, older, fantasy books with a similar setting to the Harry Potter books too. A Wizard of Earthsea, for one. And the character of Harry Potter himself is clearly based on Timothy Hunter from the Neil Gaiman graphic novel

The Books of Magic

vumblereads @Leniverse interesting! I‘m going to look up those books now and do a little research 🤓 6y

esurient @Leniverse I remember reading about Gaiman disagreeing with that theory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_influences_and_analogueshickleberrypu... 6y

vumblereads @esurient thanks for the link! 6y

esurient @vumblereads You're welcome! Enjoy your research. 6y
