[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 8760211, member: 3649"] I'd suggest starting with the first book series - [LIST] [*][I][URL='https://valdemar.fandom.com/wiki/Arrows_of_the_Queen']Arrows of the Queen[/URL][/I] (1987) [*][I][URL='https://valdemar.fandom.com/wiki/Arrow%27s_Flight_(novel)']Arrow's Flight[/URL][/I] (1987) [*][I][URL='https://valdemar.fandom.com/wiki/Arrow%27s_Fall']Arrow's Fall[/URL][/I] (1988) [/LIST] This is an almost young-adult series, and is her book books in the entire span, so they might be a little rough in places. Then go back in time, and things really get nailed down in the Last Herald-Mage series, that lays down the legend of Vanyel. This is really the basis of the entire canon, since it creates or codifies most of the lore and background everything else deals with. The stuff Vanyel does resonates down through the entire rest of the books.

This is a book of short stories concerning Tarma and Kethry, two wandering swordswomen. It mainly occurs outside Valdemar, which is where you first get the idea that inside and outside of Valdemar are like two different worlds. The two series - like many of the others - twist and twine around each other, and come together in the stand alone book [I]By The Sword[/I], which is where you find out the whats and whys of the central mysteries of the entire canon. I would say: don't try to be a completist with this series. You can read or not read each series and not know much about the others.
