If you’re a fantasy fan, you’ve probably heard of Mercedes Lackey, one of the most prolific and influential voices in the sci-fi/fantasy arena. If you’ve always meant to pick up one of her books but never got around to it, or if you’ve read a little of her work and are dying for more, we’ve got an ebook bundle full to the brim of Lackey’s biggest and best, from her bestselling Valdemar saga and beyond! Dive into the Kingdom of Valdemar with the first entry in the series, the magical adventure Arrows of the Queen. Reawaken the lost magic of the land in Winds of Fate. Solve the mystery of a young mage-in-training’s secret past in the dark academia adventure Intrigues. There are 37 books in total to explore in this bundle, so get it now for the price of your choice, and ALA’s Freedom to Read Foundation with your purchase!
epub format, 37-item bundle is CA$24.59, but there's cheaper 3- and 6-item ones. Ends in 20 days.

Got the previous iteration of the bundle, the US-only iteration. Seems to be the same content.

Sadly, checking my calibre library, I have all the books offered in the bundle. There are also the Valdemar Anthologies where I have 19 of them from Sword of Ice to Smoke and Mirrors with #20 A Many-Splintered Thing on pre-order.

Only USD $17.97 - today. Looks like a good deal to me.

Should I buy it?

Or say, "chiao, ciao, ciao"?

As a long time Valdemar fan, I'd say yes for sure! The older novels are better than the newer ones, some of them are on the annual re-read list because they are such favorites.

It's an excellent series. Well worth reading. I've read most of it. I'll have to gather the books I've not read and finish the series.

I agree that the Valdemar stories are an excellent series. Though as someone who owns all the books in the Humble Bundle plus quite a few extras such as the Valdemar short story anthologies, I might be a trifle prejudiced.

It looks like most of the books are grouped into trilogies; do you have a list of your favourites, or do you read specific books and not others in the same trilogy?

I generally re-read the entire overarching series when I do a re-read so about 3 weeks to finish. I re-read in chronological order so starting with the Mage Wars, the Founding of Valdemar, the Last Herald-Mage, the Collegium Chronicles pentalogy, the Herald Spy, etc. Much like The Chronicles of Narnia, I find I prefer chronological over publication order.

Most of the time, I will read one or two of the Valdemar Anthologies after each series.

Thank you, I'll consider them.

I'm just not sure right now...

By the Sword is probably my favorite overall, after that I prefer the Mage Winds trilogy, Storm trilogy, and Arrows of the Queen trilogy. Oh, and how could I forget the Tarma & Kethry duo + short story collection. I am not as much a fan of the historic chronicles (Last Herald Mage, Mage Wars) or some of the later ones, although those are usually very popular with others.
