Happy ending for Mr. Darcy

Finished reading the volume 3 of the Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman trilogy, These Three Remain.
...Well, Mr. Darcy got kind of boring in this book with Elizabeth infatuation. All he thinks is Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth. Everything is Elizabeth.

I think author tried too hard to fill the gap of Darcy's transformation that the original Pride and Prejudice omitted to describe in detail, and tried too hard to latch on to the idea that it was Elizabeth who changed him and it was for Elizabeth he has now have to face his pride and conceit. And it was just repeated too many times throughout.

The repetition of notion of Elizabeth and his newly revised attitude towards things beyond his family confirms that the transformation was merely for Elizabeth and because of Elizabeth, and not coming from sublimed state, which made me disappointed at Mr. Darcy. Or is this the quality of fan fiction romance novel?

But in the end, as we all know, I am glad that Mr. Darcy got the happy ending. The series is definitely a great companion for the BBC mini series (with Colin Firth, of course).
Much easier to read than the real Pride and Prejudice and a lot of Mr. Darcy. Enjoyed it.
