3.5
This was tipping along nicely, a solid 4 stars for the most part, maybe even flirting with 5 stars, and then that ending.....
It was almost like the author got bored and just wanted to end it. It felt way too neat and I don't think it did justice to the wonderful story that had played out up to that point.
At one point I briefly thought the two women were going to develop feelings for each other, and maybe they should have? It certainly would have made it a more interesting conflict, and set up a less convenient ending, I think.
Still an enjoyable read up to the very end though.
