2018 - This is probably the least episodic of the three books. It's pretty much two stories, one mercenary small-war story which then leads into the larger story of how Tarma and Kethry bring stability to the Rethwellan ruling dynasty, by way of a palace coup. And affect Valdemar's history many years later (yeah, read more of these books).

Plus - it has fewer totally annoying typographical-or-grammatical or spelling/word-choice errors. See comments on Book #1 of this series. ETA: I've just been reading some Regency Romances from Mary Balogh, and it is SO refreshing that those books have so very few typo/spelling/etc errors. Doesn't keep throwing you out of the story. Wonder how Ms Balogh's publisher manages that???

3/31/17 - this is probably the most stand-alone of the three Tarma and Kethry books. But all three are very good. I ditched all of my MZB books a while back, including all of the Sword and Sorcery anthologies. So the three books that Ms Lackey has published are most welcome, as a place to keep re-reading these good stories.

2015 - This is a fascinating long-form tale of Tarma and Kethry. Wish Lackey had written another one or two, though perhaps she saw that she had said all she had to say about the pair once they'd gotten the land for their school.
