My biggest issue at the moment, though, is pacing. I'm never quite sure what the end point is supposed to be: the "I love you"s, the marriage, or something else. It always has me scratching my head (figuratively, anyway), trying to figure out what's going to fill the remaining pages.
I'm almost positive (kind of positive?) I read somewhere that it wasn't until her later books that she really got into plotting, so... that explains it. Every story needs a problem, and if you solve it too soon, readers wonder. Especially when Big Misunderstandings get throw into the mix that makes me go o.O orly?
Pacing issues aside, I'm enjoying my quick jaunt through JQ's early books. Good thing I have more!
