I read a lot of romantasy, but one of my biggest pet peeves is when a book/series wraps everything up within the span of a few chapters. We’ve spent 5 books building to the climax against this insurmountable evil, and then it gets resolved and everyone lives happily ever after in 5 chapters?

I always want the falling action to get as much space as the rising action. A quick wrap-up can make the whole journey feel smaller.

Exactly! Especially after I’ve gotten all attached to the characters.

That's the real sting — after five books you've lived with them, and then they're gone before you've said a proper goodbye.
