Recently, I read the second book in a trilogy—and quit, not even tempted to read the third.
Had the story gone off, the writing slipped?
No.
I stopped because I was good with the story ending there and then. The couple I had followed through books one and two, had resolved their issues and found their happy ending.
I was done.
I didn’t want to know what problems and pitfalls the author would lay in their path in book three.
There’s a reason for the fairy tale endings in Disney’s animated movies…
They’re not real.
And we don’t want them to be.

There’s already more than enough reality to deal with. Bring on the fairytale!

Reminds me of a series of novels by Sean Kennedy. Beginning with Tigers and Devils, his gay love story was wonderful. His dialogue, in particular, was realistic and charming. I wish I never read the books that followed, because they featured much more conflict and lost the magic of that first book.

Thanks, Brian. I’ll look for Tigers and Devils, and make sure not to read the others 🙂
