I've been a fan of Robin McKinley for years; her Damar books were some of my very favorites when I was a kid and I still come back to them from time to time. More recently, I thought that Sunshine was absolutely fantastic. I'm not usually much of a fan of vampire stories, but these vampires fit into such a richly imagined world that it works beautifully.

Over the past year or two, I've been very slowly catching up on the rest of her books. The biggies that I haven't read yet are Dragonhaven and Chalice (Spindle's End, too, but I'm only so-so on her fairytale retellings). Has anyone out there read them? I've heard some mixed reviews, and they aren't at my local library. I've been trying to be more willing to occasionally buy things for myself (even if I'm not 100% sure that I'll like them), but I figure some encouragement could help. Which one should I try first?
