*cracks UP* OH SUNSPARK. Sunspark is my goddamn favorite.
I'll also say that as someone way more personally invested in the Young Wizards books, my favorite part of the Tale of Five books is seeing how they influence YW; Sunspark is pretty obviously Fred's predecessor, only with more polyamory, and I think I've seen fan speculation that Herewiss and Freelorn are DDuane's canonical AUs of Tom and Carl. I wish there were more dragons in YW, though.
Dreamsnake is a very strangely paced book, but I like it a lot!
