[if you lived here, you'd be home by now]
another fave rave of mine is yet another trilogy, this by
Elizabeth Scarborough (Aragonian trilogy), consisting of:
Song of Sorcery
The Unicorn Creed
Bronwyn's Bane
These are very humorous books, taking place in a world where almost
everyone has at least one ancest-or/ress who would be considered mythical
in our world. The chief characters are a hearth witch and a bard with
siren blood in the first two books and the next generation in the third.
I liked the humor, the style, and the fact that the main female characters
were strong and capable.
I read them after reading the Sword / Elfstones of Shanarra,
two really ABYSMAL books in need of an editor with a firm hand and a quick
scissors. The females were less than one dimensional, and while
some of the males were nearly whole people, the books contained too much
filler and not enough nourishment.
