Bastion – Mercedes Lackey

I don’t know what it is about the books that are set around when Heralds are being trained, but I seem to like them best. I’ve been enjoying the heck out of this series, and I’m really glad there are two more series that feature these same characters, because Lackey’s set up a good bunch here.

After Mags has been kidnapped, knowing that he and his friends are still targets, the Heralds come up with the idea of sending Mags, Lena, Bear, and even Amily away on a sort of circuit. The added bonus is that they’ll be staying in the reclaimed bandit camp where Mags’ parents were killed, so he just might be able to find some more about his heritage there.

I also love some good circuit action – don’t ask me why, but this book does not disappoint there. And we do get a rather satisfying conclusion to Mags’ heritage, and since I know there are more books, I expect it to come up again, which should be interesting.

The only bad thing about this? My library only has spotty coverage on the next two series (granted, series #3 is still in progress), so I’m going to have to do some tracking down to get them read.
