5.0

 The short stories in this anthology are not all by Mercedes Lackey, but by a variety of authors writing within the world. There are characters orginally from the books woven into new stories with new characters. Some of the stories are also a part of mini-series with stories found in other books within the Tales of Valdemar series.
