Again, haven't read this yet, but it's a problem if the protagonist's motivation for an utterly key decision is never clear - especially if it's something straightforward like "Was that sincere or a ploy?"
(Unless the book is something like Liar in which unknowability is a major theme. But it wasn't in the first two books, at least.)
