Title: An enjoyable read
Product review: "Take a Thief" was my first encounter with Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar. I dilligently trudged my way through the first half of the book, giving it a chance to get exciting. Luckily, I was more than rewarded. Once the book shifted away from Skif's life as a thief, I found it nearly impossible to put down, as I knew nothing of the lives and training of Heralds.Lackey does a wonderful job showing the true roughness of Skif's life and accents this with the written dialect she uses for his speech. It lent more crediblity somehow to Skif's situation.Looking back on "Take a Thief," now that I have read The Heralds of Valdemar Trilogy, it is fun to see younger versions of some of the characters in those books.Bottom Line: Fun for non-Valdemar fans and a real treat for lovers of Valdemar
