Compare to Dickens; I suspect his novels would be more fun one chapter a week than all at once. (I've only finished A Tale of Two Cities, unfortunately, so I don't have any data for this hypothesis.)
...yeah, probably. I think the way she writes, she really needs to be read all in one gulp. Did you like Cities? I have never been able to get even halfway through it, but if you liked it I shall persevere. Great Expectations, on the other hand, I quite liked.
Character development? Middle-book syndrome? More happened than in Beguilement, I think; or the type of "slice of life" was more interesting to me.
Certainly I found Passage more interesting, even if more happened in Beguilement. But think of how much happened in the middle third of Chalion! I am not trying to underestimate her powers of pulling it all together so that I'll be all "...oh!" - but it hasn't happened yet.
