Review: slow moving

This is the 2nd book in the series I have read.  Both books have similar strengths and weaknesses.  Good: interesting setting, somewhat interesting characters with believable relationships (mostly), and rather complicated mysteries.  Which brings us to the not so good:  the plots are convoluted and rather slow moving, the main character does dumb things, and some things happen for no obvious reason, in terms of moving the plot along, as well as some unlikely actions, coincidences, and events occurring.  I hope the author learns to move the story along more quickly, smoothly, and believably as I think she has some good ideas.  Her main character needs a little work to be more believable, less whiny and shallow.  To follow a series I need to like the main character- they can be flawed and make mistakes but they need to likable at the core- Pali isn't quite there for me.
