Diana Wynne Jones

Which books would you recommend? A few years ago, I read Howl's Moving Castle & Castle in the Air (because of the Miyazaki film), and The Merlin Conspiracy (because I picked it up randomly in a cut-price bookshop). Enjoyed them but haven't got round to reading any since. Also I wasn't aware that she died this year until checking her WP page now. :-(

The Dark Lord of Derkholm and its equal Year of the Griffin are both excellent, The Chronicles of Chrestomanci are rather good as well. I remember The Dalemark Quartet to be rather good, but my copies were destroyed by water damage several years ago. I also wasn't aware, she was one of my favorite fantasy authors :(

What about Archer's Goon?

I haven't read that one, I'll see if I can find a copy.

No worries. It looks quite highly rated so I might give it a whirl before starting on one of the series.
