Not that I need more books, but can anyone offer up opinion on Sara Douglass's Wayfarer books, Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel books, Brian Sanderson's Mistborn books, or Elizabeth Hayden's Symphony of Ages books?  (Yes, I know those aren't the official titles for some...)

Symphony of Ages?

Okay, Haydon has some great ideas, but they're all wrapped up in the MARY SUE-IEST OF MARY SUES.

Example: At one point, the main character walks into town and everyone stares at her. She thinks, oh noes, they stare because I am so heeedious. But really, they are all thinking, OMG she is so beyooootiful we cannot stop staring! So then she has a complex about how ugly she is.

I do not think it is your sort of thing. :)

Yeah, the Mary sue thing seems to be a universal impression.
