5.0 out of 5 stars good series, March 27, 2001
By A Customer
I have read all the Bardic Voices books, individually, and they are all excellent. A word of advice if you are going to read them in their collected form, though: Mercedes Lackey wrote a book, called A Cast of Corbies, that goes with the series. It covers what happens between The Robin and the Kestrel and The Eagle and the Nightingales. It isn't absolutely necessary, but Eagle makes more sense if you read Cast first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Type of Book to Buy!, July 8, 1999
By A Customer
A big fan of Lackey's Bardic Tales and Valdemar series, I first read the former. The Free Bards has all three of her first books in one volume. This is the best way to read the book if you are purchasing it! It saves money and it does not lose anything from being compiled.

If anything, being able to read them together gives one a good read for many days!

Excellent book!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Trilogy with the Golden Voice, July 22, 1997
By A Customer
I am a very devoted Mercedes Lackey fan, and I must say, she has done it again. She is the veritable mistress of trilogies, all wonderful and exciting. But beware, Mercedes Lackey fans, this is no "The Last Herald Mage". I do not even believe that this trilogy can be placed in the same category. (Don't get me wrong. I love all of Misty's books). This trilogy is uniquely different from all of the others, still blending in the prerequisite magic and mystical creatures, but also including music and the wonderfully mysterious Gypsies. This collection is a great starter for readers who have not experienced Mercedes Lackey before, and new readers will find that the world of the Free Bards is a wonderful world indeed. A gem of a trilogy - it certainly has a golden voice.
