 It is my very personal opinion that this author should have stuck to her original plan of this series being a duology.

Book one, Frozen Hearts, was already unnecessarily long, this one was even longer and the story is not even complete yet.

This’ll be where I’m getting off. I have no more patience to be dealing with this story and characters, and no desire whatsoever to have to fight my way through 600 more pages of the same feelings being brought up over and over and over again, with the possibility that, perhaps, the next book also won’t be the last one. No, thank you. I don’t hate myself that much.

But if I were allowed to make a single suggestion, it’d be to get a good editor and cut the whole thing down to maybe two books, 400-page each, maybe even less. Get rid of all the extra weight. The idea for a great story is there, but it’s completely buried under a insurmountable pile of boring over-explaining and endless repetition.
