For some reason I never encountered any of her books when I was young. But I was made to read one as an adult and have by now read almost everything of hers (I don't think I've read Wilkin's Tooth, one or two books aimed at younger children, or her adult political novel).
I don't know which of hers are my favorites... I could better say which ones I don't like. I tend to share your opinion of Derkholm, although I don't think I dislike it quite as much. And I didn't care for A Sudden Wild Magic, though I'm not sure I could have articulated why at the time and certainly can't now.
I am one of the people who doesn't quite understand the ending of Fire and Hemlock. But I like the book anyway.
I haven't re-read too many of her books yet: if you post a schedule of the ones you will review here I and others might want to re-read with you.
