I don't THINK so.

I get why the people who want her to rise up dislike that, but I found it totally in-character and realistic. After the end of book two, I don't blame her for shutting down...
I think you might be spot on. I was quite puzzled to hear that many didn't like the final book, myself. It seemed a logical and fitting conclusion for her character to me.
Spoiler:
Although I could have done without the epilogue that seemed to have been tacked on to appease those who require at least some semblance of "happily" ever after.
