the first of the Wayfarer series wasn't all bad--although it was pretty bad. But I wasn't sure about the other books so I looked up synopses, and they were BAD. She basically ruins her own plot, which was okay. not great, but okay.
The Kushiel series (the first trilogy) I loved. Each book sort of focuses on a different element to me--her physical life and development, her spiritual life and development, and her emotional life and development.
The plots are highly intricate and involve hundreds of characters--so much so that it comes with a dramatis personae in the front of the book. I needed it. Maybe other people could see the plot twists that were coming, but I sure couldn't. I think they're well written, beautiful books.
I have heard her other books Banewreaker, etc, were not as good.
