Charmed Destinies is a three-in-one book, by three different authors, only one of whom I'm really familiar with. I love Mercedes Lackey, but her story here was only kind of good. A bit deus ex machina - of course I think I spoiled it for myself by looking at the end before I read it through.

Stupid. But still not among her best. Rachel Lee's was OK, a bit cute - and I noticed (before she mentioned it) when the 'fantasy' and 'reality' started running together. But Catherine Asaro's was truly excellent; I want to look up the other story written in this world, and I'm going to take a look at her other work too. I've seen her name before and ignored her - the blurbs didn't catch me. But the characterization in this story was good - that is, the characters actually thought about what they were doing and why and what the other characters felt...Made me cry. Definitely an author to check on.

I keep a library of Mercedes Lackey books, but this one didn't stay on the shelf. That should pretty much encapsulate how little I enjoyed this overall. It was ok but not going to be a reread for me.
