All the Tarma and Kethry short stories - including the beginning of the whole thing, what happened to Tarma when the raiders hit her Clan. They're not in chronological order - may be in published order, but I can't tell. It makes it a little difficult to interweave them with Oathbound and Oathbreakers, but it can be done - and makes those stories richer to know the rest of the events that are casually referred to in the books. Lots of favorites in here - the first one, and 'A Woman's Weapon' about the tanneries, and 'Threes' (which I find particularly amusing because I knew the song before I read the story!), and 'The Way It Should Have Been' (not sure if that's the actual name of either story or song - but it is the point of both). And some of the late ones - the Firebird one, and the one about the school and their kids...lovely. I don't like the one about the bear, but that's kind of the point of the story. Very rich, all of it. ( )
