There is something delicious about putting off life to finish a book. There is a shift at the end of any narrative where the pace gets faster and the end is in sight. Once that shift happens, it's hard to put a book down. It almost doesn't matter anymore whether the ending is good or not
Of course then the book does end and it's a bit deflating, even if it is good.
I spent the evening finishing off the second Mary Russell book. Thomas dropped off early and I decided to take it easy for one night and hopefully get past this stomach bug that I picked up somewhere. At this moment I'm just not sure what I think of the ending. I'll have to sleep on it, but I really didn't like how the romantic tension between two characters was resolved. What is it about writers that a female protagonist always tends to end up with a love interest. Writers don't do that to male characters necessarily. Obviously plenty of male characters end up with love interests, but it seems like every female one does.
What is that?
