The woman is almost 70 and the 500 Kingdoms were written for an imprint of Harlequin. So, to me, they're pretty hit and miss. I think as she's gotten deeper into her other series she's gotten really repetitive. Elemental Masters is "retelling" fairy tales in Edwardian/Victorian/The First Great War settings. And she got really, really stuck into the vaudeville show aspect of them for a while. Then she tried some Germanic aspects and these "Hunters" and that didn't work at all. Then 500 Kingdoms is supposed to be subverting/fracturing fairy tales and that is really hit or miss. (The Fairy Godmother, One Good Knight, Beauty Asleep and Beauty & The Werewolf were moderately successful. The others, not as much IMO.) And she keeps reusing the same fairy tales across the 2 series. But she's not really doing anything that different with them?

I have a fondness for stuff outside of Valdemaar if only because I wrote a "Fractured" fairy tale book myself as I was tired of her magic slinger protags and I wanted a sword swinger more like Gina. (The Dawn Warrior if any one is interested, it's on Amazon.)

Apparently, I have opinions.
