I am wondering if this happens with any of you as well when reading a series.
I may skip over-long physical descriptions of places, or long battle scenes, but I don't skip what the character is thinking or feeling. It's part of the character development.

As for skipping it in "Changes", I think you're doing yourself a disservice. Some of what happens in "Ghost Story" very much depends on Harry's POV in "Changes".

If you don't all of Harry's POV and thoughts in one, then I think you're going to miss the small details of what's happening in the other.

Character development is the last thing I'd want to miss out on. People do change, and you might miss a defining moment.
