Query: Dark, Wonderous World with No Real Hero

I thought the Well of Darkness was a unique fantasy story with many new twists to some of the old races, like dwarves and elves, but there was no real *star* in the book that I liked. The characters were either annoyingly good, or evil enough that I felt like killing them myself.All in all, I am glad I got the book from my local library, instead of buying it right away like I considered. I think the book is worth a read and even a re-read, but I would wait to buy it in the paperback form. Hopefully the second book will introduce some characters I can begin to care about, like the outstanding Death Gate series that Weis and Hickman wrote.
