I used to love Mercedes Lackey when I was younger, so I was excited to find that my library has some of her books.

I think perhaps I have outgrown them, which saddens me. This was a bit too simple for me now. I may finish the trilogy, but I doubt I'll seek out any other Valdemar books.

I did enjoy "The Fire Rose" by Mercedes Lackey recently, so perhaps I'll just avoid the Valdemar series.
