She's one of my favourite authors but to be honest the Harpist trilogy... going back and rereading it... it's obvious she was a less experienced author at the time.  Her more recent books, _Od Magic_ and _The Tower At Stony Wood_, amongst others, are so beautifully written and have such a different focus from most fantasy that I found them a real delight.  A couple of other books that ought to be mentioned..._Bridge of Birds_ by Barry Hughart, a rolllicking Chinese fantasy novel, A+++._The High House_, by James Stoddard.  The author draws on some early pre-Tolkien writers for inspiration about a house that extends across multiple worlds and seems to have infinite size, actually.  Not an A+ read but I thought I'd mention it because it's a nice change from sword-swinging.</blockquote>
