If you are speaking of Unnatural Issue, then you are indeed wise to save your money.

I read it last year, and while it wasn't the worst book in the series, it was also not one of the better ones, and thus perfectly suited to a library read and nothing more, unless one has very deep attachment to the series/characters and wants a complete collection of such.

Personally, I think that Lackey's Valdemar books pretty much peaked, quality-wise, somewhere around By the Sword and while there were a lot of fun mind candy books after that, they've been on a slowly accelerating spiral o'doom since then.

I'm sorry you feel that way, and I apologize for causing you disgust and offense. In the future I will try to remember not to make such remarks in your presence.

However, as a Canadian, I naturally feel compelled to make comments incorporating our cultural practices* and institutions†. Perhaps I could substitute remarks involving our other national animal, the beaver‡, instead.

* Which happens to be rather more humane overall than a number of other widespread practices which put food on North American tables, unless one happens to be strictly vegan. But then, what measure is a non-cute?

† One of which is Parliament, which happens to serve seal meat right in its cafeteria. Admittedly not to many, but it's there if they want to eat it and not disrespect the animal's sacrifice by letting perfectly useful protein go to waste.

‡ "No furbashing, plz".
