I hear you on the writing. First paragraph = interesting old-fashioned style. Everything after = sucked in and staying up to read more chapters.

I pretty much devoured each of the first trilogy as soon as I got them. Phedré didn't bother me in the first trilogy - I tend to cut main characters (especially in big heavy fantasy trilogies) slack because hey, someone's got to save the world. In Kushiel's Scion Phedré isn't the viewpoint character, but she gets talked about. And the fact that she's on the cover again makes me wonder if Jacqueline Carey doesn't love Phedré a leetle too much (almost as much as she <3's the Shahrizai).
It's the uncertainty that does it. Eh, maybe Sue-ish, but considering scope of the novels + viewpoint character = kind of justified. OR IS IT?
The blurb of the book I'm reading now starts off 'the rich hate him, thieves fear him, women love him' (lolol, I can't even see Dan Brown using that). Ah, comfy certainty. This man is never going to fit with other character's praise of him. The fun's in seeing whether he fails by lacking in either awesome stunts or character development and personality.
