I read one trilogy by Mercedes Lackey some years ago-- Magic's Pawn, etc.-- and that was enough for me. Too much weeping and throwing arms around horses' necks from what I remember.
I think my favorite source of trashy fantasy would either be Tanith Lee or Lin Carter...
I have meant to reply to this a while ago, but my internet has been acting up for a while and this is the first chance I have had in a while...so.
I have never read anything that Lackey wrote by herself, so I have no idea if those are weepy or not. The stuff I have read she has all had a co-author and were nice to pretty good. I would recommend the Obsidian Trilogy. Only maybe twice was there weeping over horses, and that was when a favorite horse died or some such...other wise good story.
But I'm still looking for a really good book with all the magic and suspense and plot twists and all that...but WITHOUT ELVES ...I am so sick a tired of the elves and their perfection or beauty...I need a good fantasy/fiction without elves or their ilk...
