![]() ![]() It’s a refreshing change from all the obnoxious “we could work out our issues by talking, but instead, we’re going to hold our tongues and let things fester” plotlines out there. ![]() But when it comes up, the character inspiring it sits everyone down and makes them talk it out like the adults they’re supposed to be. That’s not to say that jealousy doesn’t reappear in this story. Skif and Elspeth have also sorted out their relationship, so Skif’s jealousy over Elspeth is (happily) in the past. Thanks to the fact that Darkwind and Elspeth have met up (and the fact that Lackey isn’t having to info dump in the middle of the book), Winds of Change is a more cohesive book than its predecessor, Winds of Fate. While Elspeth remains at the vale to learn from Darkwind, Skif heads out into the woods with Wintermoon to search for the Changechild Nyara- both for their own reasons. ![]() Both find themselves wrapped up in the daily lives of the k’Sheyna clan, as well as helping to defend it against the constant threats of magically warped creatures, as well as their old enemy, Mornelithe Falconsbane. Her friend Skif must take the same oaths as Elspeth, but as he does not have abilities as a mage, his role in the Hawkbrothers’ vale is less defined. In this second installment of Mercedes Lackey’s Mage Winds trilogy, Elspeth, heir to the throne of Valdemar, officially becomes a member of the k’Sheyna clan of the Hawkbrothers in or order to continue her training as a mage. ![]()
