I think debut novels sometimes suffer, not only from inexperience, but from the author's overexposure to the story itself. They're the books that took years to gestate, to the point where the author can't see their flaws anymore, and could do a lot better by now, but has lived with the story so long she can't bear to change those parts which really should be cut or revised.
