Damned if I know she's a Canadian National Treasure or whatever. This is the first time I've heard of her, truth be told.
Even though I haven't read her stories, I do have to agree with you in regards to the spirit of your argument regarding her word, in that there are elements I enjoy, but the characters I hate.
I feel much the same way about Inu Yasha, which has some really cool, awesome elements for a magical feudal Japan era story, but the characters don't change, and after while I came to care very little about them. They're basically stagnating and being retarded for no reason that I can see, and the only growth I see is in their powers and abilities, which does not account for character growth.
