50+ Things Atalanta is No Longer Allowed to do at Hogwarts -- put down all beverages and/or food items, have inhaler handy, do not read in the hearing of those who will want to know why there is laughter. Helps to have read Skippy's List first. Also helps to be knowledgeable about HP and other fandom injokes.

They're spirits in the form of horses, usually reincarnated Heralds, in the Mercedes Lackey Heralds of Valdemar book series. ^_^

I need to add Mercedes Lackey to my list of authors to read, then.

Fair warning: her earlier books are writing-for-the-love-of-writing-and-a-story-to-tell; her more recent ones have more of the flavor of nicely iced but still slightly stale gingerbread men.

I will look for the early ones, then. Sad how that happens to so many good authors. They start good, then get steadily worse.

And may I amend to Az's Lackey statement: her early books are fanfic for her own universe. She's fen from way back. Then she got bitchy.

All the more reason to avoid her later works if she got bitchy. I can take only so much bitchiness.
