Thanks for the recommendations, Kramus. You will see that the Fionavar Tapestry trilogy is already on the list. And I'm finding that Tigana is a standalone title that I can't seem to avoid.
I haven't really looked at Cherryh before. That Morgaine series looks interesting. It appears to be quite squarely in that "science fantasy" genre that has eluded me so far. Maybe I'll make a subcategory for that here. I wasn't sure whether to do that here or in the speculative fiction thread.
