Yes, Mina was very detatched, shallow .... but as for her being that way because she was a religeous fanatic ... I don't know. Crysania was a fanatic, but she had substance, even if she did get annoying at times. Also Raistlin was sooo far beyond any mortal, more so than Mina, but you had a real feel for what motivated him - for good or evil.

As for the orig chars being more naive, I would say more Tolkienesque. Even their late chars like Kang and Slith. You could get a strong picture of the charactor. For that manor even minor chars like Bertrem. Mina just didn't have that kind of substance.

I really did like the book. But after 16 yrs of following these chars .... the send off was very Seinfeld.
