Review: This compendium of 497 pages contains a short bio of Mercedes Lackey, an interview, a new novella, maps, essays on the lyrics she has written, websites, and, best of all, a Concordance of the Valdemar/Velgrath volumes. If you are rereading a book and can't place a reference to another volume the concordance will help solve the puzzle. For readers who are new to this fantasy world, the concordance can help clarify relationships or define "world words."If you are already of fan of Lackey's this book gives you background material that is fascinating.
