Finished up the other omnibus volume of SERRAted Edge a few days ago, but have been lacking in free time to update here.
Anyway.
The Other World collects Wheels of Fire by Mercedes Lackey and Mark Shepherd as well as When the Bough Breaks by Mercedes Lackey and Holly Lisle.
The first part concerns a young medium being kidnapped by a white supremacist Christian cult and being exploited to become a vessel for Salamander. Thanks to the continuation of this being in the previous omnibus, I already knew how this played out.
The second concerns a young magician who's been abused by her father, who in turn was abused by his father. As such, she has 3 or 4 separate personalities running around, including a separate entity (a Celtic witch) who somehow wound up sharing the body with everyone else.
One of the things I'd forgotten about this series is how many plots revolve around children in danger. Which is good and bad. Problem being, the latter book draws much from When Rabbit Howls, which was a much more interesting read.
Still, it's engaging urban fantasy.
