I just finished Magic's Promise, and I think that was a great book. Anyone want to comment?

I really liked the Elvenbane trilogy by Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey. Good stuff!

Aatua She is great! I love her books. My favorite is the Fire Rose. I forgot about the Elemental Mages/Fairy Tale series! She just wrote a new one recently, too: Reserved for the Cat, based on "Puss in Boots."

Oh really? Cool. If it's part of the Valdemar series, I'm gonna have to play some serious catch up. I'm trying to read them in order.

No, the Elemental Mages is a separate series. Each book is pretty stand-alone, but the first one she wrote was The Fire Rose, which is a variation on Beauty and the Beast, and is set mostly in Victorian-era California.

Finally finished Magic's Price and I thought of it as a very bittersweet ending.

I've decided to reread the Mage Winds trilogy. Seems like it's the latest stuff she wrote set in Valdemar.

I started her books with the Last Herald-Mage trilogy, and I think I've read every Valdemar book she ever wrote except Owlknight. She is the only author whose books I will read based solely on the fact that she wrote them.
So far my favorite Lackey is The Wizard of London from the Elemental Masters series. I also like Diana Tregarde and I wish the stupidity of people didn't stop her from writing more of them. That series is especially dear to me because I am Wiccan and her portrayal of Wicca is dead-on (minus the "visible" magic which is just part of the story.) I also like the SERRAted Edge books.

BookAddict Jess I really liked the Elvenbane trilogy by Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey. Good stuff! You should also read the Bard and SERRAted Edge series' for more of her elves.

I agree. I really enjoyed those, and also wish she hadn't been essentially harrassed into stopping those. I think those were my first experience with good urban fantasy.

I really love this author. She even has a set of books under Harlequin's Luna line (which is really just fantasy novels by female authors... not necessarily romances.) The series under there is called the "Five Kingdoms" and plays on common fairy tales and twists... like everyone born in that world is immediately placed as a character in a typical story that they must live out... though sometimes the circumstances don't always work.
I also love "The Last Herald Mage" which is one of my most favorite books of all time. I even had to buy it after reading it. I've also read her "Elvenbane" trilogy with Andre Norton, her bard series, and a couple of other collaborative works she has done with famous authors like Andre Norton and Marion Zimmer Bradley (sadly, she is the only one left alive as the other two passed within the last ten years.) I am definitely a faithful fan and I even got my sister hooked on her works.
