An excellent addition to the Valdemar Chronicles - By: Joanne K. Pilsworth, 24 Nov 2008 
In style, this book has more in common with the Arrows series. At the same time, it serves the excellent purpose of filling in some of the history of the Heralds Collegium.
I had expected something a bit more akin to the tension of the Alberich books or the Mage Winds series, in terms of the effect of 'incomers' into Valdemar. So in that respect this book was a bit disappointing.
That said, the character Mags is endearing, not least because he can't reallly believe that these things are happening to him. The initial attempts by his Companion to reach him are quite amusing, even as there is a dark side to what has happened to him & the other mine children.
Overalll, an excellent book, let down a tad by the lack of tension.

Brilliant book - By: J. M. Mccarthy, 18 Oct 2008 Great book. It harks back in writing style to Arrows of the Queen which is nice. Another book that fills in the gaps of the Kingdom & the evolution of the Heralds. Highly recommend it.
