Query: Good idea, poor execution

The heroine of this novel is intended to be atypical in fantasy novels: a strong, heroic woman, who nonetheless is very feminine. Unfortunately, she's just too shallow and full of too many contradictions to be believable. She's a determined woman who learns to wield a sword -- but she cries herself to sleep at night, for a different reason every night. She was in love with her dead husband -- but she's lusting after his best friend about a month after he's dead. She's full of all these good ideas -- but she never thinks them up, they just come to her. The characterization in this novel was so poor that I did not care about any of the characters, even by the end.
