Foundation (Valdemar: Collegium Chronicles, Book 1)

I really enjoyed this book with a different time setting and characters I did not know. Mags takes ignorance of the world and gains a completely new outlook. I especially enjoyed the problems that were being faced in Haven with the numbers of new Chosen coming to the city. Everything in Valdemar is not always joy and happiness.
I hope that the sudden ending leads to another book following Mags and Dallen quickly as I had a difficult time putting the book down even when finished.

I love all of her books. They always take that little moment of free time and turn it into an adventure.

I was so happy to find a new valdemar series I read all the others and really missed the companions they are so sweet in the books.I'm hooked on this new series and can't wait for book 2 to see what happens next.I really felt sad for mags but things are getting much better for him with his new friends.

This book is an excellent addition to the Valdemar series. I continue to think that there is something about this world that brings out the very best in Ms. Lackey.
My only complaint is that the book wasn't longer.

I LOVE Misty's work--Love it, Love it, Love it...normally. I have every Valdemar book there is to own. So, of course I camped out at the Mall the day of the release of the book to make sure I got my hard-back copy. It's been sitting on my nightstand and I'm almost finished with it. It's been quite a while since this book was released, but I'm so bored with this book that I keep forgetting to finish it. I don't mind Mags, it's just that this book spins it's wheels.

All of the other reviewers have expressed a lot of what I have been thinking, so I won't go there. I am skittish about complaining too much for fear that Misty will decide to quit writing about Valdemar again, however, I am hoping that this is sort of like riding a bike after years of abstinence--a little wobbly, but eventually back to expert skill!
