Trio of Sorcery ReviewI never thought we'd ever get to see Diana Tregard in action again! She first showed up in 1989 when urban fantasy wasn't even a named genre yet. A modern day witch, who knows martial arts and who writes romance novels to put food on the table, but her real job was as a Guardian--a defender against supernatural badness. I'm pretty sure (hey, 1989 was a long time ago...) that she was the first @!&*@*kicking female urban magic wielder I read. Not as hardcore as Anita Blake was at the beginning (and before AB became obsessed with a certain body part, not that there's anything wrong with that but I digress). But..when I picked up the first AB novel--10+ years later-- I remember thinking, 'gee I wish there'd been more about Diana Tregarde'! A search of old Mercedes Lackey information made me think that some creepy/nutty/stalker types must have taken the Diana-verse so seriously and obsessively that ML decided not to write the stories again.
All I can say, is thank goodness she changed her mind! So here we have a new Diana Tregarde book, which is funny, as story-wise, it's the first one and set in the 70s--which I am old enough to remember and appreciate the fine details of. The novella length (almost half the book) was for this tale. Hopefully we will see more of her. I'd like to re-read the older stories, but woefully my paperbacks are locked up in storage for another year or three and the originals are not on the Kindle as yet--if they were this is a series I'd re-buy because this story is out! The paper ones were re-issued a few years ago and are obtainable, if anyone is interested in those.
The second story features Jennifer Talldeer--the main character from Sacred Ground. That was a stand-alone novel, and one I had wished for more stories. Now, 15 or so years later, I finally have it. Once again, this is a character I reminisced about when reading new books, this time like those of CE Murphy's Joanna Walker and others with the urban/shaman theme. Again, Mercedes Lackey was a few years ahead in terms of building a theme. In any case, this too was a nice story, very appropriate for the less-than-full-novel number of words. In contrast to the first story which have a history, this gave a follow up story for the characters...a 'where are they now', except the now is the mid 90s--right around the birth time of Amazon in fact. (Gasp! Life at the infancy of ebay too--which gets a mention).
The final story was an all new product--set in the current time with new characters. I basically started reading it to finish the book--hey I'd read the good ones right? Well, I ended up liking this one too...and very happy I didn't stop. Computer coding and magic...that's all I'm saying.
I got the sense with this book the characters were interesting to the author as well--and I hope she enjoyed them enough to give us more of all three. All in all, I'd give the 4.5 (or 9.125) if only I could use more than the standard 5 star vote! In this case I round up.
