Oh, I second this recommendation. I like these books a lot.
Other recommendations: P.C.Hodgell (one of my favorite fantasy series of all time, with a lead character who is a true Chaos Magnet -- she writes slowly, but extremely entertainingly, and her first book, "Godstalk", is my favorite cheer-me-up book), Rob Thurman (she writes urban fantasy with several very intriguing characters), Wen Spencer (who has authored two really good fantasy series), Connie Willis (brilliant SF author, her humorous stories are hilarious, and her serious stuff is yank-your-heart-out), Diana Wynn Jones (great YA books from Britain), Lois McMaster Bujold (I just adore her Verkosigan SF series).
