Gripping for 1/2 of it, falls flat at end

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I had read the first two novels in this series, so I was pretty psyched to read this one. The book is strong in the beginning, and the intense relationship between Hirel (an emperor's son) and Prince Sarevan is enough to carry it through quite well until the halfway mark, where the author descends into a jumbled mix of convoluted reasoning and ill-conceived plot moves that destroys the whole thing. I won't tell you how it ends or how Judith Tarr resolves the stated "impossible" problem of her two very MALE princes falling in love, but I will say this; I nearly ripped the book in half when I realized the path she was taking. What an utter cop out.

It's actually 2.5 stars but I can't find the .5 button

For three quarters of the book, I was really enjoying it. So much so, I was going to rate it 4 stars, if not 5. But then the author chose the easy way out of the major problem her two main characters faced - it was such a cop-out, it ruined the rest of the book. I almost stopped reading right there, but decided to finish it since I was almost done. It really is disappointing. What made it even worse was the reactions of the characters to the solution. Suspension of belief only goes so far, even in fantasy novels. It was such a life altering solution, they way the characters reacted to it before it was implemented, during, and after (especially after) was just not believable. It was quite ridiculous actually. I would tell you what the author did, but if I had to go through that annoyance, so do you!
