A collection of short stories about Tarma the horsewoman warrior and her partner Kethry the White Winds mage. Two of the stories were integrated into Oathbound, the first Vows and Honor book. These stories are interesting because they span the entirety of Tarma and Kethry's friendship as well as over ten years of Lackey's professional writing career. Moreover, all of the stories are entertaining and fill in anything the reader wanted to know about the pair outside of what is covered in theI'm rereading Valdemar in chronological order - so much fun! This anthology has some really cool stories in it. I really liked reading about how Tarma and Kethry meet. I also loved the final story, which takes place many years later and involves one of Kethry's daughters.
Finally the tales of the meeting of the two mains.
I've never been a fan of this type of book, a series of backstories but it did fill in some gaps.
Nice collection and it was interesting to see the author notes that accompanied each story.
Continuing my #readinghistory tribute to the Vows & Honor trilogy. I love how Tarma and Kethry establish their school - and a long-term platonic partnership. This also sets the stage for Kerowyn's tale, BY THE SWORD, which I entered a while back. I love it when stories interweave like this! Such a terrific, classic set of tales about kickass heroines, one a warrior, the other a sorceress. Clearly a big influence on me!
I liked every character in these tales. Each chapter was a self-contained story about the adventures of Tarma, Kethry, and Warrl. The first two, Turnabout and Keys, came from other books in the series. The rest were new to me. It would be best to read the first two books in the series first. Establishing the strength of character and the courage of the two women made them all the more interesting as central characters.
