I wouldn’t think a book was interesting or fascinating if it was full of characters with no psychological depth.

Well, since I presume that you find LotR to be an interesting and fascinating book, you and I clearly have different views on what is meant by "psychological depth". Your definition is akin, I think, to what I would describe as "characterisation". I have sought at length to describe on this thread what I mean by "psychological depth", based on what I believe Pullman meant by it in the quote that started this thread. I am not sure as I can, or ought, really to say much more in that regard.
