I thought Wicked was quite excellent, I first read it about 10 years ago, and have re-read it a few times since. I did read Son of a Witch some months ago, but wasn't too impressed with it.
My opinion on the trilogy...Titus Groan was good, Gormenghast was great, and Titus Alone was not so good.
I would consider Gormenghast as being one of my favorite fantasy books, an excellent read with wonderfully twisted characters and an intricate plot.
The Sevenwaters trilogy is quite good. My favorite is the first book, Daughter of the Forest. I read it because I love fairytale retellings, and this one does a version of the brothers turning into swans.

This is one of my all time favorite books. I re-read every few years. Each time I find something new in it and something to think about. John Crowley's writing is just beautiful. It will sweep you away. :)
