i) I don't think it is dated; especially it is not dated as much as the later books ii) I do think they need to be read several times because she does squash so much in - they are dense little novels. Having said that, I've only read FL once and I love it :) iii) I am of the opinion that the earlier books, when she was freshly revolutionary (!) are better than the middle books, when she sort of meandered through different genres and themes.
I wrote about FL on my bookblog here: http://ninedresses.livejournal.com/2301.html if you would like to read it. I must say I think it is my favourite AF (I think. This changes lol).
