Personally, I think she might be on par with Tolkien and actually surpasses him in a few ways. The 4th book (about a tired mom just trying to get by and care for people in a fantasy world) is the best one, but you need to work your way there.
My experience was that the first book was fine, say 6,5/10. Just enough to move on to the the second, which I absolutely loved 9,5/10. Started reading the third with high expectations but it just didn’t engage me at all. Didn’t get through more than perhaps 25% of it.
Rereading Le Guin’s Earthsea saga.

These are on my to do list. Currently been reading through Wheel of Time, which has been on my fantasy to do list for a while.
I liked the first book a lot, and recall liking the series less as it went on.
