Young Lerris is dissatisfied with his life and trade, and yearns to find a place in the world better suited to his skills and temperament. But in Recluce a change in circumstances means taking one of two options: permanent exile from Recluce or braving the dangergeld, a complex, rule-laden wanderjahr in the lands beyond Recluce, with the aim of learning how the world works and what his place in it might be. Many do not survive. Lerris chooses the dangergeld.

Story0 out of 5 stars 0
It’s like the start of a bad joke: a Master of Tomes, his apprentice, and 90 world-saving records get lost at sea. Mei Li really wishes the joke wasn’t her life. For two years she’s been stranded in a remote village with no knowledge of where her master is or what’s going on in the world. What she does know is one: She refuses to be sacrificed to the “god” the villagers think lives on the mountain; two: She fully plans on negotiating with said “god” (who, luckily for her, turns out to be a dragon more than happy to rescue her).

He is plainly too young and too inexperienced for the mission, but on the advice of her aged adviser Natoum, and with her husband off at war, the queen reluctantly assigns the task of delivery to...Madrenga. Accompanied only by a runt of a pony and a scrap of a pup, he sets off to transport the royal message to its destination. No matter what it might take. But things are not always what they seem. Heroes are sometimes made of the strangest stuff, and love is to be found in the most unexpected places...if one doesn’t die while treading the lethal path.

Publisher's Summary
In this second installment of the Family Spies series, set in the best-selling world of Valdemar, the children of Heralds Mags and Amily must follow in their parents' footsteps to protect the realm.
Mags, Herald Spy of Valdemar, and his wife, Amily, the King’s Own Herald, are happily married with three kids. Their daughter, Abidela, dreams of building on her parents' legacy by joining her father's network of spies, hoping to offset her seeming lack of a Gift.
But when Abi senses the imminent collapse of a bridge only moments before it happens, she saves countless lives, including that of her best friend, Princess Katiana. The experience, though harrowing, uncovers her unique Gift - an ability to sense the physical strains in objects.
Intrigued by the potential of her Gift, the Artificers seek to claim her as their own - but only the Healers can train her. Through training with both of them, Abi discovers unique facets of her Gift, including a synesthetic connection to objects that allows her to “see” as well as feel the strains.
Her Gift may also grant her a distinct advantage as a spy - there won’t be a building in the entire kingdom of Valdemar with a secret room that she doesn’t know about. With the help of her mentors, she must hone her gift to uncover the hidden secrets in the depths of Valdemar.

I love this one
I've always been a Lackey fan. This one follows the same wonderful Valdemar tradition. The narrator was excellant and truly helped the characters appear for me.

Refreshing departure
If you're shocked at this point that Mercedes lackey would dare poke fun at certain American politicians, then have I got bad news this round. It was pretty spot on for low hanging fruit.
Anywho, as to the story, I really enjoy when we get a chance to see valdemar from new perspectives (I was actually introduced to valdemar in the oathbound stories. MAN was I confused). This time we see from the artificers POV, and it was fantastic. Engineering and architecture ate sexy again!

great book
The narrator is a great one. Many of the Valdemar books read by other narrators mess up the pronunciation but Nick Podell doesn't. The story is a great one, a continuation of Mags and Amily's children

While well worth a credit, left me wanting more
It’s a good book but the plot is simple. The narrator is wonderful and made the experience entirely entertaining.

This was a better book than its predecessor. But..
...The author took the opportunity to make some truly petty Trump digs. They aren't unforgivable, but when I realized who "Dudley Remp" was supposed to symbolize, it soured my enjoyment for a while. This is very early in the book, and is pretty blatant, so it's not really a spoiler.
She did, however, make up for what looked like an erasure of the character "Tuck", who was not even obliquely referred to in the previous book. it looked like giving in to backlash. At least in this book Tuck was acknowledged, but not named, being explained as a deep Crown secret. That was fine. Again, it's very tangential, so not a spoiler.
A lot of the usual plot devices from the earlier books aren't used in this book, and that's refreshing. The earlier works are so steeped in sexuality, usually central to the plot, but this book thankfully breaks that formula. It's welcome to see a character grow and succeed without the proof being a relationship. it didn't detract from the story one bit, and imho made it a much better story. Less formulaic, more considered.
The annoying metaphorical comparisons with Trump didn't ruin the book for me because the rest of the book was genuinely excellent.

I love all things Valdemar!
Not as tense as The Mage Wars, but still a good story.
The narrator has a great narrative voice and does men's voices well. All his girls sound sarcastic and whiny. Please go easy on the ladies, sir! Not that it was unlistenable, mostly the voice was steady and reliable.

Another brilliant book
To be fair I must have nearly every book this author has written on this world. I have read about gryphons, hark brothers, herolds and herold mages - so many different stories and I've cried (especially brightly burning don't start that one without tissues) and laughed over them all. I was glad to be able to get these on audible and they do a good job of them.

Enchanting!
Couldn’t stop listening. A balanced storyline filled with inspiring characters, and a wonderful narrator (I can’t usually get into American narrators, but this one is very fluid and not at all robotic).
