1068.1< Mercedes Lackey and her writing style >KAOOA::HOLLISTERTerry-Lee HollisterTue May 26 1992 15:0024
    Hello Everyone,
    
    	I started this topic because I could not find the topic for 
    Mercedes Lackey or for her books which are Fanasty.
    
    	She has written many short stories for the SWORDS AND 
    SORESS series as well as Andre Nortors WITCH WORLD Shorts.
    
    	She has also written (and Started) five series and 
    co-wrote 6 other books with various authors.  Her 
    charater are unique and refreshing, and the story line
    moves along at a good rate, but you really can get into
    the characters.
    
    	There is a list of her books in the BOOK CONFERENCE
    NOTE 1321 and in this NOTES 98 and 943.20
    
    	If you have read any of her books please reply to
    this topic.
    
    Regards,
    
    Terry Hollister

    	I've read all of her books (that I know about) and have never been
    disappointed with any of them. Her books make excellent reading and are
    highly recommended.

    was she the author of "Magic's Pawn", "Magic's Promise", and "Magic's
    Price"?  If so, I liked them a great deal!

    As you have read the "Last-Herald Mage" which is her second series set
    with the Heralds you should read her first series "The Heralds of
    Valdemar", "Vows and Honor", "By the Sword" and then her new series
    "Winds of Change" in this order.
    
    She has also started a new series call the "Lark and the Wren" with the
    first book called "Bardic Voices".

1068.5a good readTINCUP::XAIPE::KOLBEThe Dilettante DebutanteFri Aug 14 1992 16:235
I just finished "By the Sword". It's something of a "feminist" novel. The last
chapter kind of drops into fantasy romance though. The heroine is strong and
determined. She seems to be the fantasy version of a career woman who gives up
the standard love and marriage route to forge her own way in the world. This is
definately an adventure novel. Lots of battles and swordplay. liesl
