Query: Dark, depressing, and disappointing

I became enchanted with Jandar's character after reading the two short stories about him in "Realms of Valor" and "Realms of Infamy." I must have re-read each at least five times, and when I found out that there was an entire _novel_ I was ecstatic. However, I found the book to be far, far below my expectations. Though Jandar remains a wonderful character, he is made worthless by the Ravenloft setting. How (forgive me) stupid, to put such a character into a dismal world with no escape but death. Maybe the author was going for the Drizzt Do'Urden "noble tragedy" thing, but what she forgot was the part where the noble protagonist actually _improves_ their situation, or is rewarded for their actions. Save tragedy for Shakespeare--I like my fantasy uplifting.
