I feel engaged and interested the entire time I'm reading, and that's really whats important, isn't it? It still amazes me how MUCH story she tells in a single book, especially Kushiel's Dart. Particularly with how slow some author fantasy authors plod along. I didn't think it felt rushed, hurried, or particularly patchy, either.
It could just be my interpretation, though. I involve myself in what I'm reading pretty readily(read: I can get sucked into a children's chapter book). But still, I wouldn't write her off as merely "average". Average to me is like... Kristen Britain.

I actually felt like the trilogy gained a lot of depth as it went on - the third book was the best.

I agree about the consistency. And possibly about the storytelling.

Re: One of the major differences between Phaedre and Imriel is extremely simple.

That's true... but I don't really think it's the decisive factor for me.

Of course, you have to make allowances for a bat-shit insane culture

I don't think I can come up with 10 fantasy cultures/mythologies which stand up to close examination *NM*
