I think she needed a good editor. And unlike Tolkien (whom she was clearly copying/inspired by), she was under huge pressure to have an Epic Finale. Alas, she isn't up to it, and it showed IMHO.
I also didn't like the frigidity in certain scenes and in regard to certain characters. Bad writing and bad editing.
