With her phenomenal Mage Winds trilogy, bestselling author Mercedes Lackey captivated fans across the country. Now in the first volume of the series sequel, she continues the same storyline, returning readers to a war-torn Valdemar in preparation to confront an ancient Eastern Empire--ruled by a monarch whose magical tactics by be beyond any sorcery known to the western kingdoms.
This is actually the second time I've read this, but it's felt a much longer read the second time. It's enjoyable, I really like priests from Karse (although I'm realising I've missed another sequence between this and the last books chronologically).
