Summary: I enjoyed the Owlknight trilogy
Review: I have enjoyed all of the Mercedes Lackey books I have read. Sometimes I get the hardcover version from the library and buy the paperback later, when it comes out. My adult daughter, Margo, likes them too. While some of the books may not be as good as others, I have enjoyed them all. I have read all of the Lackey books I own at least twice, usually more often.

Summary: I enjoyed the "Owl" triology and other Lackey books
Review: I have enjoyed all of Mercedes Lackey's books that I have read. That includes nearly all of the ones in paperback. Sometimes I get a hardcover version from the library and buy the paperback later, when it comes out. I have read all of the Lackey books I own at least twice. While some may not be as good as others, I consider them all worth reading and buying. My adult daughter, Margo, likes them too. The reader who decided to boycott future books because he or she didn't like Owlknight, will miss a lot of good reading. It would be better to check them out at the library and buy those you like (for rereading etc).

Summary: Mixed feelings
Review: In my opinion, this trilogy peaked with the second book and then slipped back to 'mediocre' with Owlknight, the finale. I continue to like the characters, and I think Mercedes Lackey creates wonderful personalities. However, the action of the book didn't keep me interested, and I continue to be frustrated by some of the poor writing. No matter how much I like the PEOPLE, I get frustrated when I find myself re-reading passages over and over to try to figure out what the authors are trying to say. (In the Epilogue in particular, I believe there's a reference to four people, but only three are mentioned by name. Now, I think I know who the fourth was, but it tripped me up for a moment.) In response to "a reader," yes, Mercedes Lackey is human and can't be expected to churn out heart-wrenching tale after heart-wrenching tale. However, that doesn't mean we shouldn't give our honest opinion about a book and warn her fans that this book may not live up to their expectations. (Unless, of course, you've read Owlflight or some of the Mage Wars books and have already lowered your expectations ...)
