The story of Tarma & Kethry, 2 young women who‘ve been ill used but found their revenge (an earlier short story). Now they‘re moving onto the next stage of their lives.
Halfway through. Holding my interest for the most part. In later books Lackey tends to both show and tell; here she leaves a lot of gaps, like mentioning legends that characters would know but we don‘t, and readers are expected to fill in the gaps.

humouress Reads like linked short stories about their ongoing adventures (albeit with an end purpose) rather than one continuous story. In Ch 8 they‘re introduced as though we haven‘t met them before. Happily, Lackey hasn‘t been overusing italics as she does in later writing 🤗 She does have a slight tendency to add irrelevant details... um, much as I do. (edited) 3y

1/2 off at goodwill made book haul #2 that much better. Apparently someone dropped off their entire collection of Mercedes lackey novels so I scarfed them up. My tiny has been obsessed with Arthur books recently so I was happy to find 2 that we didn't already have, plus a rugrats and lalaloopsy. P.S. got all of these books for 35¢ each :)
