Owlflight

Summary: It seems like your there in the book.
Review: I thought this book was one of the best I'ev read this year. It was almost like you where there in the book. I felt grevence for Darian whaen he lost his parents and was shuned by the town. I felt happness when he meets SnowFire and Hweel. I think Darians the kind of Person who grows on you thrugh-out the book. Over all I loved it and am a major fan of Mercedes Lackey.

Summary: I Love This Book!
Review: I love this book. This is the best Lackey book I've ever read. Dairen is an interesting character and the Hawkbrothers are great. I can hardly wait to read the sequel.

Rating:
Summary: great
Review: I hadn't read many of Misty's valdemar seriesbefore this. I had read her Mage Storms trilogy before, but this book was far superior. I loved how Darien seemed normal, not wanting to sit and learn dull lessons, so he keeps running to hide in the woods. Then one day he sees something new...

Summary: It was an excelent book with all the elements I love.
Review: Owlflight is an excelent book. I love Mercedes Lackey's books and this ranks right up there with the rest. I like the tail of coming of age, and the way of how Darian like the reast of her characters have to overcome themselves to win. I also like how she put the two enviroments together so that they meshed nicely. The one and only thing I didn't like was that none of my favorite characters from her other books were in this book. But overall I love everything about the book.

Rating:
Summary: not too bad
Review: This is one of her moderate endeavors. The progress was moderately predictable. We've seen alot of this in another format in other books of hers. However, that does not diminish the ability to enjoy a new book with new characters. I do look forward to the release of the thirds book (already read the second which is also 3 stars)

Summary: Great for Beginners!
Review: I haven't read any other Lackey books, so when I accidentally bought this book at a supermarket, I immediately wanted to return it. I hate getting invovled in series in the middle! But, surprisingly, this book stood alone well. Now I WANT to read more by this author, when before I was resisting strongly. The read is easy, yes, but its not a totally "on the surface" book. I loved it and I think others who are not biased by the author's previous works would love it as well.

Rating:
Summary: Gets better along the way
Review: Very slow start, but it got better toward the end. The first time through left me feeling "that's it?" Rather unconnected to other Lackey books, but makes more sense if you read the second one, too.

Rating:
Summary: Is that all???
Review: I have read all of Lackey's work, and Misty's work seems to be getting simpler. The plot of Owlflight proves to be predictable from start to finish. This reader was left looking for more to squeeze out of the plot, unsatisfied with the simplistic telling of the story. It wasn't just the plot's fault... somehow, Lackey's and Dixon's language has changed. There's a different feel and tone to the novel as compared to Lackey's earlier Velgarth series' of the Last Herald-Mage, or of The Heralds of Valdemar trilogy

Rating:
Summary: Emotionally provoking
Review: Call me wimpy, but the book was quite touching, and made me pity the hero of the story, Darian. Or the more made me happy when he manages to forage a place of his own in the society. The cover illustration is very eye catching, I must say. Being a rather voracious reader of the Valdemar series, I strongly recommand this to all Mercedes Lackey fans. I find this better than her recent book, Oathblood and much more satisfying. I can't wait to read the next installment of Darian...

Rating:
Summary: This book is an excellent continuation of the Valdemar saga
Review: When I read _Storm Breaking_, I thought Valdemar was over; magic was scattered and everyone was happy. However, Ms. Lackey manages to resurrect it one again with this awesome book. It continues the motifs of her earlier series, but introduces an entirely new cast of characters, who are all as enthralling as usual.
