Review: Good Premise, but writing style towards the end killed it

Lots of 5 star reviews.....I liked this books.....and I could really like it A LOT.  Interesting plot, good development of characters.  But...The author's use of passive voice (overuse of "auxiliary verbs" -- am, is are, was, were, be, been, etc.....) drove me nuts.  If she would simply grab that active voice it would have put readers more "in the moment" (ie: she was running".  No!  "she ran").  Occasional typos didn't bother me so much.I readily read along...until I hit that 83% mark.  I'm not going to recap it all because I don't want spoilers for anyone, but suffice it to say that that climax of the book simply seemed to be thrown at the reader and rather clichéd.  The antagonist simply blurts out the entire plan....and she comes off as being pretty much a dolt in the process.I will still read the rest of the books in this series, but I am hoping Book Two wraps up in a more matured author voice than this one.
