The only other book I know of is THE FORGOTTEN BEASTS
OF ELD, which I think is far better than the Riddle
Master trilogy.  In retrospect, the the Riddle Master
books seem very much like a lot of other fantasies on
the market, while TFBoE had something special --a haunt-
ing, mythic quality that few authors have managed to
achieve.  I highly recommend this one.
