This one is probably the best of the three, a happy ending that is more permanent than the others, with Ma'ar/Falconsbane finally dead for real, and all of the other couples rather happily paired off. I am looking forward to the next three, as that completes the ending, though I am surprised that I don't remember more about it. Although, even this one held some surprises for me - especially toward the end.

I enjoyed this book imensely!A well-done conclusion to the tales of Elspeth and Darkwind. I love the works of Mercedes Lackey but this one is by far and wide my favorite. To Mrs. Lackey:pleeeeeese keep writing tales of Valdemar!

I love to read, and I read a lot. Out of all the books I have read the mage winds trilogy was the best. I could hardly put the book down. Now that I'm finished I wish that the story would have gone on forever. I wish I could vist a Tayledras vale or conjure up mage lights as Elespeth did. Lackey made me feel as though I was every characture in the book. I didn't simply read the book, I lived it!!!

I've heard a lot of Valdemar fans, when making a review, compare other books to the Mage Winds ones and say that it was 'disappointing.' But I certainly didn't! I thought the characters were imaginative and seemingly come to life, the plotline continuously leaving you breathless and wanting to know what happens next, and the archvillain, Falconsbane, thrilling and shocking! I loved these books! I couldn't put them down!...
