Anne has remarked before about how divided her fans are by her own genres, and how most do not cross pollinate- wolves, angels, vampires, witches, etc. I have a pretty big cross section of her books, but the only ones that have ever called to me were her witch novels. That's the series I wish she would spend some time with again. But then again, maybe not- the story was tied up pretty neatly at the end of Taltos, and I didn't like what she did with the Mayfairs in Blood Canticle.
I think that the Mayfair Witches trilogy was the only series of books I've read that only got better with each book.
