Funny - those were the two I just got from the (tiny, dreary local) library recently. I thought I'd read Knight's Fee before, but won't know until I start it. Eagle of the Ninth is probably my all-time favourite, though I have a real fondness for the two Tudor ones (The Armourer's House and The Queen Elizabeth Story) - despite knowing both are perilously close to twee at times. And Simon I felt was good but rather dull, until I reread it after reading the *censors self* I, Coriander and realised how much had stuck with me about how a clash of ideologies could be presented in children's historicals. (From probably one full read about three decades earlier? Impressive.) I liked the very understated romance, and probably read those couple of scenes more times!
