Once more unto the breach

Moving Targets and Other Tales of Valdemar, Mercedes Lackey (ed.)

Yes, it's another Valdemarian anthology, full for the most part of interesting stories about times and places and characters in Lackey's most successful creation, the world of Velgarth.

Some of the stories are rather slight (including, alas, Lackey's own contribution, which seemed to be a mediocre ghost story and which, I gather from the observations of others, is a misguided homage to a piece of pop culture I have somehow been fortunate enough to have completely missed, called Scoobie-Doo). Others (like Janni Lee Simner's "What fire Is") are moving and powerful.

A mixed bag, but there's enough in it to please at least this devoted fan of Lackey's Valdermarian tales.
