Elemental Magic: All-New Tales of the Elemental Masters by Mercedes Lackey

3.0

some of the stories seemed more like half thoughts. The really good ones made up for it though.
Okay, maybe that's too short. i really enjoy Mercedes lackey, and I always have. I've known snobs to turn up their noses and sneer, but since those Scheherazade's would have been dead in the first hour I don't take them all that seriously. Lackey is a good storyteller and creates engaging worlds and characters. which is why she has a huge fan base. which is why the mediocre stories were such a let down. Some started out strong and just kind of...ended. Some were ambitious and didn't deliver. but thankfully some were such a cool window into the sheer possibility of the elemental masters world.
