I usually don't like collections of short stories but this one I do! I enjoyed each individual story. It helps I adore this world that Mercedes Lackey created of Valdemar since I was in high school 20 something years ago. This where I like to retreat to when I'm done with real life for a moment.

Yet another anthology of tales based in Mercedes Lackey's world of Velgarth by various authors/fans. "Transmutation", the Larry Dixon story that starts off the book, was excellent and could've definitely been expanded into a full-length novel. I also enjoyed Lackey's own contribution, but I love pretty much everything involving Tarma and Kethry.
