The Lindholm books that I have read are Harpy's Flight, The Windsingers, The Reindeer People, Wolf's Brother and The Gypsy. (Luck of the Wheels lies unread on my shelf because I haven't been able to obtain The Limbreth Gate. What that in mind, here goes...
The Reindeer People / Wolf's Brother duology is very good. It's really one novel broken in two, so be sure to have both parts in hand before you start reading. Don't except a typical fantasy tale, though.
I liked Harpy's Flight, although it's use of flasbacks was a bit jarring at times. In the beginning, I didn't always realise when the story jumped back in time. I wasn't very fond of The Windsingers. Don't really know why, I just am not.
The Gypsy is terrible. Just terrible. The authors both write that they had a lot of fun together - well, they had more fun than I did.

Also the cover they have up for Alien Earth is not the one used in the 2002 reprint but what seems to be similar to what I think is the 1993 edition.According to Amazon.co.uk, the pagecounts are the same as Voyager's 2002 reprints. The Alien Earth image is weird, though - one would think that would, like the 2002 version, prominently state that Megan Lindholm also writes as Robin Hobb.
