I'm about halfway through and really frustrated/fed up, she just seems to be repeating the same two or three ideas over and over again. It's feels like a thousand page book that could have just as effectively conveyed her ideas in 200 pages were she not so verbose and repetitive...

No, not really.
In all honesty I've been let down by The Siege and The Accident. They're both good stories but the language has left a lot to be desired. Maybe it's just poor translations but his techniques and style seem incredibly vanilla, especially in The Siege. Although I don't fault him for The Siege, because it seems the focus of The Siege is more on the plot/themes than on any sort of literary merit.
If you haven't heard of him, check out anenduringromantic's blog. I discovered Kadare through him, and although I'm a bit diappointed with Kadare, I haven't been disappointed with other books he's reviewed.

Its hilarious.

The third 'review' in the book is about a book called Gigamesh, that is a Joycean version of the Epic of Gilgamesh except that the author has decided that rather than allow other scholars to commentate on his work, he has written his own commentary at the back of the book that is twice the length of the book itself. The whole review pokes fun at Joycean scholars of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake

" To continue, Gigamesh is a GIGAntic MESS; the hero is in a mess indeed, one hell of a mess, with a death sentence hanging over his head. The word also contains: GIG, a kind of rowboat (Maesch would drown his victims in a gig, after pouring cement on them); GIGgle (Maesch’s diabolical giggle is a reference—reference No. 1—to the musical leitmotif of the descent to hell in Klage Dr. Fausti [more on this later]); GIGA, which is (a) in Italian, “fiddle,” again tying in with the musical substrates of the novel, and (b) a prefix signifying the magnitude of a billion (as in the word GIGAwatts), but here the magnitude of evil in a technological civilization. Geegh is Old Celtic for “avaunt” or “scram.” From the Italian giga through the French gigue we arrive at geigen, a slang expression in German for copulation. For lack of space we must forgo any further etymological exposition. A different partitioning of the name, in the form of Gi-GAME-sh, foreshadows other aspects of the work: GAME is a game played, but also the quarry of a hunt (in Maesch’s case, we have a manhunt). This is not all. In his youth Maesch was a GIGolo; AME suggests the Old German Amme, a wet nurse; and MESH, in turn, is a net—for instance, the one in which Mars caught his goddess wife with her lover—and therefore a gin, a snare, a trap (under the scaffold), and, moreover, the engagement of gear teeth (e.g., “synchroMESH”)."

Also the sermons is pretty much what you'd expect from a Christian Mystic, about the unknowable nature of God and negative theology and asceticism, but his style is intricately metaphysical and beautiful.
