Plot, character, writing style, setting? All distinctly different from WoT and ASOIAF.
As has been pointed out, "well-turned calves" is a real phrase with actula historical origins.
And "the game of thrones" is also a fairly common phrase; Martin didn't come up with it. He just happened to name a book after it.

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*
