I thought, that when I bought this one, that I had read it before and simply misplaced my copy - but while parts did seem a little familiar, I am fairly certain that the familiarity is more from Mercedes Lackey's writing style than actual memory. I certainly did not remember any of this and it was a fun, adventurous fantasy novel that I enjoyed more than the re-reading of the first book. I'm excited to read the next one and I hope the one written after that is actually published soon!
