But first The Last Herald Mage by Mercedes Lackey. An omnibus of three books in her Valdemar setting.
I'm 2/3rd of the way through, and enjoying it so far. I'm pleased I've been buying these when they're on offer - it will be a fun series to read through in order.

I'll be curious what your final opinion is, Paul. I bought the three omnibus editions when they were on sale in the UK, and read the first. Which left me rather disappointed. I just didn't think they stood the test of time as well as I'd hoped. And what was annoying in a single book, read a year or so apart from the others, was nearly intolerable in a binge read. (The whiny-ness and continual excessive self-doubt of the main character.)
