Anthology

A great little collection of stories regarding the dynamic duo of sowed and magic. I loved the background and the expansion of their tales, especially the look at their school when it’s fully up and running.

A collection of linked short stories -- if you're looking for Heralds the closest you'll get is Spring Plowing at Forst Reach (which, BTW, was Van's home!)

Most of the short stories are all ready in Oathbound and Oathbreaker.

I thought these short stories were surprisingly good, actually better than some of the author's recent stuff, maybe because they were mostly submissions to magazines.

This is what I wish The Oathbound would have been. There's no attempt to smush the short stories into novel format going on, and the balance of serious/dark and more lighthearted bits was much better. A couple of the short stories here are actually part of The Oathbound, so I skipped over those. Also, I skipped over two of the stories that I'd already read in volumes of Sword & Sorceress. The stories included range from Tarma and Kethry's first meeting all the way to a post-Oathbreakers story where they've settled down, so a nice look at their lives and their partnership.

I love this. I love this. I love this.

I love Tamra and Kethry so much and to read about all their little and big adventures before and after the two books? I love it! <3
