The Incarnations series was written a while ago, and i really haven't read any of his other works (i bought one of his other ones, but haven't touched it yet).
I really don't like fantasy novels, but from what i read in this series, he's got something good going on. I loved the way he weaves together intricate plot, and the way the character's lives turn around. Dialogue's good, scenery descriptions leave a lot to the imagination. He's a little sexist, i think, but oh well, he's never been a woman.

I think his most recent work is Under a Velvet Cloak, it was written in the last decade, and is also in the incarnations series. Haven't read it, but intend to.

Overall, I'd say he's not for everyone, but the books are gripping.
