Side note for a butcher reader, not really what you're looking for - I thought Butcher's Codex Alera series was better than his Dresden series (which wasn't awful but I did prefer Kelly Armstrong's Otherworld series).
Everyone has different tastes (Burn him! Burn the heretic!) and I recall the Amber series starting off a little slow. Have you tried his standalone novels Lord of Light or Jack of Shadows?
