For example, the end of the Expanse series >!Naomi and Amos seperate from Alex who goes to find his son and family. This didn’t really sit that well with me, as why wouldn’t they just go with him? They return to Sol where Naomi has… nothing left. Alex and the Roci are her family and home. So, the thing I would tweak is having Holden, just before he dies, tell her that while he had all of humanity connected together he noticed Filip alive and well in Sol. Then there is a logical reason for them to split up, to find their respective sons.!<
What’s your example of this?
Two romantic pairings that should have happened, in Ivanhoe and The Deerslayer.
In Ivanhoe, >!he should end up with brave, intrepid Rebecca instead of the soggy but oh-so-blonde Rowena. I realize this would mean Ivanhoe would have to convert to Judaism. I have no issue with that!<
The Deerslayer has an ending so miserable that the final four pages actually changed how I felt about the character and I finished it really despising him. And I didn’t think much of the author either. >!Judith, who’s been intrepid and courageous and is actually tried to rescue him repeatedly, proposes to him only to have him snottily turned her down because someone once told him a rumor that she might’ve kiss someone. Slut! Not good enough for ourbchaste hero. Anyway, later he hears that she dated a soldier, so he knows he did the right thing. What a pathetic prude!< It’s why I never read Last of the Mohicans. If Judith had been the main character, I would’ve read it.
