I'd never have guessed that you've never read The Sparrow or Paladin of Souls or Madouc.
The Sparrow got a lot of buzz, I remember, but it sounded to me like a rewrite of Blish's A Case of Conscience, so I didn't bother picking it up. Unfair, perhaps, but there you are.
I did spend about 20 minutes with Paladin in a bookstore, but it didn't grab me. Madouc I don't think I ever heard of -- not surprising, as I gave up on Vance early in my SF-reading career.
