rune Went To The Fair At Ithkar To Audition For Admission To The Bardic Guild. She Aced The Trials, But Then The Trouble Began...
this Collection Of A Dozen Short Stories Demonstrates Lackey's Range, From Nontraditional Fantasy To High Fantasy, Each Including An Informative And Interesting Introductory Paragraph. Lackey Pulls No Punches When It Comes To Her Feelings About Certain Topics, Such As Televangelists (small Print), Animal Rights Zealots (last Rights), Or Victorian Males (dumb Feast). Those Who Prefer More Subtlety In Their Reading May Feel That She Paints With Too Broad A Brush In These Stories, Although She Acknowledges Her Biases Unabashedly. Still, Lackey Is Far From Being A One-note Author, As The Rest Of The Stories Indicate. The Best Of These Is Cup And Cauldron Which Explores The Potential Common Ground Between The Pagan Old Way And Christianity. Here, Lackey Uses A More Delicate Touch, And The Result Is A Fine, Strong Story. The Leading Story, Aliens Ate My Pick Up Provides A Funny Start To The Collection, Although Some Readers May Not Be Too Crazy About The Dialect. Readers Of Lackey's Bardic Voices Series Will Be Pleased To Read Fiddler's Fair, The Story That Started It All. Lackey Also Includes A Couple Of Takes On Alternate History: In Dance Track, A Much More Sensibly Dressed Isadora Duncan Is A Race Car Driver With A Talented Prot,g, Named James Dean, While Lawrence Of Arabia's Life Is Transformed In Jihad. Overall, The Quality Of Stories Is Relatively Consistent. Not Only Will This Title Serve To Tide Over Fans Hungry For Her Next Book, It Serves As A Good Introduction To Lackey's Writing. Voya Codes: 3q 5p J S (readable Without Serious Defects, Every Ya (who Reads) Was Dying To Read It Yesterday, Junior High-defined As Grades 7 To 9 And Senior High-defined As Grades 10 To 12).
