I'm working through the Valdemar books for the first time (trying to in chronological order, hoo boy is that hard to track down... and I started with Talia)

My biggest gripe so far is that it took me halfway through Elspeth's first book to get to an "ooooooooo, ok now this is interesting" point where I'm hooked. It's been a few months but I feel like Talia's was that way too. Once we get through the worldbuilding, we get to the plot. Both are great! I like the worldbuilding! I like the plot! But let's... mix them? A little more?

Eh, these ones were written like 20 years ago.

The Last Herald Mage trilogy is my favorite, but it'll rip your heart out. :( I'm in the middle of reading the Talia books now and you're right... Lackey starts off heavy with world building and leaves plot till later. Her novels tend to climax really abruptly, too.
