I'm just curious to hear everyone's opinions on this author. I've read her Republic Commando Star Wars books, which apparently are widely reviled and called little more than fan fiction by some (though I enjoyed them well enough cannon or not). Anyways, I guess Karen Travis is writing the latest trilogy of Halo novels (which I've been a big fan) and before I buy the first of these I just wanted to see what everyone here thought of her.

I've heard some varying opinions on her, but I thought I'd try and get a clearer consensus here. So basically, which of her works have you read, what did you think of them, and what's your opinion of her writing in general?
