I did like Lesley, but if the author has taken her in another direction, I have to be willing to roll with that.

But honestly, since I've been delving back into mysteries, and to a lesser extent romances, partly for connections to my own writing, and keeping up with science fiction because I teach it sometimes (great for considering moral issues about technology with my engineering students), I've kind of let fantasy go. I do want to read it but I partly also am looking at my must-read stack and sighing.
