First of all - YAY!! BOOK FORUM!!!


second, who likes mercedes lackey? I like the velgarth series best.

I don' know her What is her genre?

Mercedes Lackey is an extremely prolific author for Fantasy Novels I do believe...I will have to check her out Phoenix

She's astounding...some of her earlier novels are a tad cliche, but still a good read, but her newest novels are just getting better and better! I particularly enjoyed "Exhile's Honour" and "Brightly Burning"

heard of her. but never read any of her works. is it like Jules Verne?

I've read The Black Gryphon and The White Gryphon. Both great

I read The Black Swan or something. I can't say it's one of my fav books....

black gryphon and white gryphon. interesting books soth?

They're very interesting. A great concept. I want to read the last book of the series, Silver Gryphon

SILVER!? im guessing there are pink, orange, etc etc...

lol, no I believe that's it.....

cant wait till I get all these great books everyone has suggested..good thing I can check out like 50 books at a time.wow

I've heard that everything that Lackey has written is great, but I must say that the best of her that I've read were the Gryphon novels

I adore ALL her books - who's with me?!

Phoenix you really do love Mercedes Lackey huh?

I'm a freak! but it's fun!

Freaks are awesome

Phoe which book do you reccommend reading first?

well, you could read it as they were written, with the Talia books first, as they explain everything about Heralds. They are a bit depressing tho!

Brightly Burning is my personal fave!

Or you could read them chronologically, by starting with the black gryphon.

However, I would advise reading Talia, to understand Heralds, then maybe owlflight or Winds Trilogy to understand Hawkbrothers, then you can pretty much read any of them!

Check out my Mercedes Lackey fanfiction

I just finished reading a fantastic book by Mercedes Lackey that I absolutely loved. It was called the Black Swan and I was just wondering if anyone knew if Lackey had written any sequels to it. The ending is very final and it doesn't really need a sequel but anythings possible. I just don't want it to all be left to the imagination since it could go anywhere from there. I liked it a lot more than the tv adapted version called the swan princess. this one was much more exciting and deep. Well if anyone knows of sequels that shes written to that let me know.

No sorry..I don't know of any

Is there a distinct possibility that someone can email me at [email protected] with the contents of page 208 of Winds of Fate? My copy has one hell of a misprint, resulting in 208 becoming a copy of page 245.

Anyways, I think my faves are the Darian's Tale trilogy...I thoroughly enjoyed all three.

I loved them too - Keisha was my favourite character.

I'm afraid I don't have a copy of Winds, i borrow them from my best mate, and she's in Wales at the moment...

I loooove Mercedes Lackey; she is one of the most talented writers!

Agreed, one the greats.

Though I`m reading Take A Thief right now and its a bit hard to get through. And man is it ever hard to read what they`re saying sometimes because it`s all slang.

ex: "Mebbe. Somethin`i`th`air. Not like white shirts t`be i`th` chancy parts`uv town. Somethin`s up. an`lots`uv forners pretendin`not t`be forners lurkin`about, i`taverns, askin`questions, little too casual-like."

And this is one of the mild conversations.

Lol yeah that's a good one; my favourite ones are Magic's Price, Magic's Promise, and Magic's Pawn however. Well and just any books with the Hawkbrothers, cuz they are just so cool

I really like Mercedes Lackey's books. I have read a lot of them. My favorites are The Heralds of Valdemar trilogy with Talia. I also like Black Swan and the one with the two mercenaries. I think that they are well written and imaginative characters that you start to hope that they get what they wished or if evil what is coming to them. I think if they made at least one movie about one of Meredes Lackey books I would go and so would other people that I know.

Yeah those ones were really good too ^.^

And a movie made from one of her books would be SO cool

Anybody read Mercedes Lackey still?

I remember reading 'The Chrome Borne' when I was in my teens...back then I only read Sci-Fi/Fantasy books but now a I'm a lot more diverse. I honestly can't remember what it was about but I do know I enjoyed it because the author certainly rang a bell somewhere in my head when I saw this thread.
