Query: A dull and uninteresting read

I can't understand why this book recieved such high marks. I found nothing to like in any of the characters. Faraday, the "heroine" seems to jump from being witty and strong willed on one page, to a whiny, naive, little girl on the next. Not only that, the man she "falls in love with" (it seems more like puppy love to me) is equally unlikeable. Douglass seems to want us to believe that Borneheld, her betrothed, is an "evil" man that Faraday would suffer miserably with, but she give no examples to support his unsuitability. There was very little character development and frankly I didn't find any of her characters likeable at all except for perhaps Lady Embeth.The only reason this book gets even two stars is the slightly interesting history of Achar. Really though, I wouldn't waste my money purchasing this book. If you want a good read, pick up the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, or the Shannara series by Terry Brooks.
