Title: A bit more young adult, but the series matures
Product review: This first book of Ms. Lackey's Valdemar series struck me as a bit teenagerish on a par with Anne McCaffrey's first Harper Hall books (Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, Dragon Drums) but this is deceptive as the books definitely mature as the series progresses.Young Talia reads the adventures of Herald Vanyel and dreams of life beyond dull Sensholding...and finds that the old saying of "be careful what you wish for" is entirely true. Despite the lack of maturity in this book it's a must read before starting other Valdemar books, which make for much darker reading. Consider it a chance to grow up in Valdemar, and enjoy.
