I must admit to a terrible weakness for the way West turns fights into epic character explorations (often of an angsty nature!). ...Also that fight had Isladar being his magnificent bastard self, which is always awesome.

Her treatment of Avandar is one of the things that made me really love Jewel. "Okay, so you're an incredibly powerful, immortal guy with a terrible past. Now will you stop being a total prick and shut up?"

Girl bonding is a wonderful thing.

Not to mention she has plenty of descriptions of settings. ...But maybe the ones that aren't based on medieval Europe don't count. :|
