maderrHeart Heart Heart this book. Even better than Shadow of the Lion. It had everything I like and then some. Italy, magic, Erik, evil russian demon, more magic, Benito, Manfred, cool women, and for good measure it throw s in greek mythology.

Date: 2004-07-02 06:16 pm (UTC)Hmm... the Heralds of Valdemar Arrows series: Arrows of the Queen, Arrow's Flight, and Arrows Fall are the first ones she wrote. They explain quite a lot of things. Then the Mage Wars trilogy comes around 4000 years before the Arrows trilogy but they explain a few more things before Mage Winds and Mage Storms. (When I first read the LHM trilogy, I had to guess at quite a bit.) I also recommend her stand alone ones - Take a Thief and By The Sword.
I read them all in a helter skelter sort of order.... Needless to say, I had to piece information together (plus I didn't know half the characters they were referring to!). XD... I think i'll stop... I believe I've been rambling.
Ehh, yeah, just read Arrows and Mage Wars first to get overviews and then Last Herald Mage. In my opinion they are the ones that get referred to the most.
