The prose of Lackey always flows and is an easy read. What is difficult to explain is the emotions she evokes, apparently with ease. I find myself caring about the characters in her stories. This is another in the Elemental Master vein which deals with magic and psychic powers. As in all her books, her characters exhibit nobility of purpose, selflessness and empathy for others, often things that seem to have been lost in our current culture and in popular literature. If you are looking for a lot of sword play, phaser blazing, light saber scintillating action, this book doesn’t have it. Just a good story with a bare modicum of violent behavior. I recommend the book highly.Body of work of Mercedes Lackey

Hi, it is that time for a little book promotion, I mean um, meme. Yes, I am going to meme you because I happen to like your site. Elvis Lover has asked me write six unspectacular quirks about you. I am adding you to my list of sites which I have posted this message on. I hope you don't mind.
Here is the long complicated, I mean, easy to follow url:

By the way, I really like the idea of a free Firefly novel, I haven't seen the show, but the book looks interesting.
