I just finished that set, let's see... my review (http://mjlayman.livejournal.com/118848.html) and many comments.

I like a lot of good kid's fantasy -- Diane Wynne Jones, Diane Duane, Terry Pratchett, etc. I was reading the Eager, though, because I only read kids books for a couple years when I was a kid, and now people talk about them.
