I have a mixed history with Mercedes Lackey. I really enjoyed the Magic's Pawn trilogy from the massive Valdemar series. I had mixed feelings about the Oathbound trilogy. Overall, I like many aspects of Lackey's books, but sometimes, they just don't come together for me as a whole. That happened with this book as well. It's a standalone in the Valdemar series, although it relies on information from the previous eight books in the series, six of which are the two trilogies I mentioned above. So I had some background for this book. However, it just felt rather dull.
