I hear the same about The Phoenix Guard by Stephen Brust. I love them that they are a homage to Dumas. But some people really couldn't take them because of how they were written. I need to reread it and Five Hundred Years Later so I can finally read the new trilogy.
I admit I had been leery of the Kushiel books becasue of the negatives things people had said about them. I finally put that aside and finally tried one. And I can see where people have problems with them but I did enjoy it but see if you are not in the mind for fantasy with only light magic and high politics it wouldn't be the cup of tea you wanted at that time.
