Buckle in for DETAILS

I have a sneaking suspicion that the author ran into writer’s block several times and to remedy it she just figured she’d write this out day by day. It’s not until 8 hours and 45min (audiobook) into the book you finally see the wedding, to give you an idea. Personally I didn’t mind the day by day as much as some people but once things would get interesting I would be like “why isn’t more of the book like this?”. The end really picks up. Still a good book though and necessary to finish the series of course.
