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...)

Carey is very lush; she has a descriptive style from an earlier age, and it suits her perspective character well. The smut is very high-class, and not particularly skimmable, as-- and this is a rare exception in a book with this much smut-- good portions of it are important to characterization later on. I enjoyed the first book well enough, but got stalled on it halfway through, mostly due to circumstances rather than a flaw in Carey.
