Sorry for the delayed response to your post... I've been a tad busy!
I was first introduced to this world/series last year. I've read the 'Heralds of Valdemar', 'Vows and Honour' and 'The Mage Wars' trilogies. I've really enjoyed these books. . I love the first trilogy 'Heralds of Valdemar' the best (magic and horses... what more could a girl ask for!)

. Like you, I'm slowly buying up / reading the rest of the series. From what I've read, I like Mercedes Lackey writing more by herself than I do with Larry Dixon, but I'll wait until I read another trilogy bby them both efore I fully commit to that comment.
Have you read any of the other books that Mercedes Lackey has written?
