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.
