she writes terrific beginnings, but she's no good at endings. does she run out of time, or lose interest, i wonder? she is well worth reading, for her interesting characters and her great world-building, i recommend her highly really. and the Winterlong series as a whole is excellent. but every story she writes has a tendency to run down before it ends. it's a bit of a problem.
