I read them and enjoyed the series overall. Good plotting and narrative drive, decent character development. On a sentence level it varied from ok to bordering on bad, (can the author learn how to write a complete sentence?) but I still found them entertaining overall, and better than some of the other crap out there in YA fiction or fiction in general (Twilight series, I'm looking at you).
In my mind, not even remotely comparable to Pullman's Dark Materials series, though, which was thoughtful and well written enough to make me not even think of them as YA fiction, but just as really good fantasy.
