Query: Very Disappointing

I have made a point of reading everything that MZB has written--even the OLD, out of print stuff--and while I have occasionally been disappointed with her works, I have never been so let down as by Glenraven. The Characters were some of the shallowest I have ever encountered, and the plot was banal-to say the least. I was also rather put off by the graphic and seemingly gratuotous nature of some of the violence--not usual for MZB. It seemed that the authors were trying to make up for a multitude of plot flaws by overwhelming the reader with adjectives. If this is the planned jump-off for a series, I would recommend leaving Glenraven forever locked within it bland, if magical, borders.
