A good trilogy middle expands on the first and psyches the audience up for the last part. Fifty shades darker didnt fulfill this function. Whereas I was intrigued by the relationship between Christian and Ana in volume one, most of the tension is either resolved or shoved out of the way by repetitious expressions of love. The couple seemed to mistake new relationship energy for true everlasting love. I read about half the book in a heady rush, but the second half dragged on, with the mediocre writing and mild sex scenes not helping. However, I do want to see how EL James brings this series to a close, so I will continue on to Fifty shades freed, albeit with lower expectations.
