Element of Fire is one of my comfort reads, and has been for some years now - probably because I'm not sick of the Little People element and I really enjoy a good swashbuckling. I prefer it to the also-excellent Death of the Necromancer, partly because I'm very fond of Kade (hadn't noticed the McKinley-esque comparison, but that works for me) and I love the Dowager Queen with a mighty and abiding love. Wheel of the Infinite is also a ton of fun, and I enjoy City of Bones although I remember being unhappy with the ending.
Actually, Wells is one of those authors I really like a lot but who doesn't seem to get much attention - Kage Baker is another.
