"On one hand, I’m disappointed that it didn’t live up to my own hype for it but on the other hand I love Andrew & Jamie so much that I’m just glad it had a HEA! I think my main issue with this sequel is that it was 90% pain and suffering and then the ending wrapped up so quickly that even though it was a happy ending, it left me feeling a little unsatisfied. There was a lot throughout that I think could’ve been left out or condensed to be able to make the ending worth all of the pain and hardships they went through but instead it was like the story dragged out and then just ended.. like honestly I think Erik was like “how much can I hurt these characters?” And then doubled that number"
