On Golden Urchin--what I remember about that is some interesting racial/cultural stereotyping going on about the heroine and the aborigines who raised her. Where by "interesting" I mean, "oh dear" and "product of the times."
The book has some other cooler stuff going on, and I remember enjoying it. Oh! And there's a totally cheesetastic setup that made me giggle madly. So it sort of depends on whether you're looking for unalloyed sink-into-a-univese delight in your books this trip, or whether laughing/mocking certain elements will also play a role in the entertainment value.
