I recently bought a Humble Bundle of 37 Mercedes Lackey ebooks without ever having read any of her stuff.
Finished Arrows of the Queen earlier today. So Valdemar is like Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern but with magic horses? Somebody go back in time and give this to 12-year-old me because I would have been OBSESSED.
Can't wait to read more!

Fantasy with Friends: First Fantasy Reads
Briana and Krysta at Pages Unbound are hosting a fantasy discussion meme this year called Fantasy with Friends. Since fantasy is my favorite genre, I thought it would be fun to take part. This week, their question is:
Is there a particular fantasy that got you interested in the genre? Do you remember any of the earliest fantasy books you read?
I would have to say I took a very early plunge into fantasy thanks to a lot of children’s books featuring talking animals. My mom signed my siblings and me up for a reading club that sent us a few books a month. My favorite was, apparently, one about a bunch of animals going on a very bumpy bus ride, though I remember a few books featuring a cute little bear doing things like making too much popcorn and drawing a cake in sand.
The first actual fantasy books I ever read were probably the Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede. I was in fifth grade and obsessed with dragons. There was a literary magazine I subscribed to and a reader’s letter mentioned these books, so I jumped on them. Or maybe it was Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. I suppose it could also have been the Alanna books by Tamora Pierce. Or a Piers Anthony book my mom decided to hand me when I was 10? Why she did that, I don’t know, because all those puns went right over my head. Then again, she thought Outlander was appropriate for a 13 year old.
Honestly, I’m not quite sure why I fell in love with fantasy in the first place. After all, I spent years reading Ann M. Martin’s books and Nancy Drew, so I don’t know where my fascination with fantasy came from. But I don’t remember ever not wanting to have magic of my own, so maybe my interest in the fantastical is inborn.
The books that sealed the deal, though, were the Heralds of Valdemar books by Mercedes Lackey. I fondly refer to these as the Arrow books. I read those somewhere between 7th and 8th grade and was completely hooked. It may have been the mind-speaking horse thing. I’ve dipped in and out of many genres since then, but fantasy will always hold my heart, and those books have a very special place there. In 8th grade, we had an English assignment where we had to create a playlist of made up songs for a book. I chose Arrows of the Queen, and I still wonder what my teacher thought considering all of my classmates picked more classic teen books.

RE: https://tech.lgbt/@humblebundles/116483804600106139
I've not read any Mercedes Lackey. Definitely eyeing this Humble Bundle! 👀

I have never read any works of #MercedesLackey . What are your thoughts on her works?
(Though if the ebooks in this bundle really are DRM-free EPUBs, I might have to buy them on general principle.)

I found a box of (mostly) high school era CDs that my parents boxed up decades ago without my knowledge. I thought I lost these #MercedesLackey #Valdemar soundtracks for good. I’m so so glad I found them again because they’re impossible to find now.

Oh hey, my favorite Valdemar novel by Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon is on sale on Chirp for just $2.99 right now for the audiobook edition.
Yes. Please.
I was a little girl reading Valdemar all the way into my teen years, passing around an old copy of The Black Gryphon between friends and leaving notes in the margin. When the Owlmage Trilogy wrapped up, I was left wondering for decades what would happen next as new series would explore the past instead of the future of the world. "What's next for Valdemar?"
When we got the answer with Gryphon in Light, I was an adult, and extremely happy to see so many long-running plot threads and hints coming to fruition. Also, during those years of growing up, my husband and I used to go out to help Misty and Larry fix up the place as they got older and needed people with good knees and backs to handle the heavy lifting.
Which is to say that the answer as to what was next for my favorite childhood series... includes both my husband and me =] Or, at least, characters named after us. Not to mention a couple of trans characters in addition to Valdemar's already very-queer cast.
So for $2.99, you, too, can try to guess which character is named after my maiden name!

Episode 8: When You Want to Burn It All Down
In Wakanda Forever Suri said "I want to burn it all down", and I felt those words in my bones. In the face of unimaginable loss, grief, and anger it is natural to feel as if you want to "burn it all down". In this episode I talk

In retrospect, turning off the TV an hour before bedtime should have been an obvious move, but somehow it wasn't.
During that last hour, I've been re-reading some old faves by #AnneMcCaffrey, #RobinMcKinley and #MercedesLackey.
My sleep (chronic insomniac since childhood) has improved fantastically in the last few weeks as a result!

#books #humblebundle #MercedesLackey
One of the current Humble Bundle offerings is 37 Mercedes Lackey novels. When I was much younger, I loved her stuff. Queer rep in fantasy was thin on the ground 30 years ago, but she handled it well in the Valdemar books. I have no idea if the stuff holds up, but I'm still tempted.
