Okay, I suppose that makes sense.

Have you ever talked to kurayami_hime about the Williams? She and I had basically the same experience: liked the first book, okay with the second, by halfway through the third the only person I cared about anymore was Miriamele and the story wasn't talking about her, and then when it finally got back to her I discovered I didn't care about her anymore, either.

And then the ending seemed very lame.
