Queen's Own by Mercedes Lackey
5.0
Quiet simply it was a joy to finally see how things began with Elsepth.
To be honest lackey does get better at writing over time, this chapter was her earlist work in the series and believe me one thing she does become in the later books is a better writer. But these 3 are still worth reading.
In part simply because the Fantasy of a Young decently attractive woman being empowered and succeeding in the real world is Something I am all about if you havent noticed my activism. FFS. I pretty much get off on the idea of women running the world or damn close to have a fetish for it Honesty for you- its a kink.

I didnt come into this series expecting lackey to disrupt the Fantasy genre with something super original, lacking in formula, or anything.
Ive read her stuff but I also Read George RR martin and I know what disruption in the industry looks like. Believe me.
I am a fan of both.
The thing is the old style wasn't so bad it just kind of conforms to the hero with a thousand faces.
the old heros journey -its present here.
The characters though matter, WHAT we see go through a Heros journey matters.
Lackey basically taught me some of the morals I hold today. She taught me t o see women as Heroes.
I wont forget that.
