Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The publishing company and Nalini Singh are completely disingenuous in how this book is presented to the reader. Anyone who has taken care of someone who is in decline and loosing abilities until they die, this book is a real trigger. For the elderly, who don’t know if they will be around next year, and who live on a fixed income, spending precious money on an author that has been tried and true only to be hit with a heroine who is essentially dying and being told outright that she is going to die, and to literally have it end like a book that was torn in too. There was no comfort or payoff after a book of such pain of watching a beloved couple that has been a light during dark times that are happening in the world. This is CRUEL. The reality is that if people don’t like a book, most people won’t review it. Especially if it is a beloved author who has wonderful history of amazing work. ‘Loyal’ fans that act like bullies will come down and shame someone into silence. This is what is happening in the real world and it is happening in Nalini’s websiteIn what should be a haven. So people hold their silence and the publishing house and the author don’t know what people really think. It seems that there was ‘too much for one book.’ All it would have taken was a sentence to give resolution. We might not like what the sentence said. But we would have had closure that this book does not provide. The author has never done a cliff hanger in the past and people were blindsided. Then when they say that they are upset on her blog. People come crashing down and humiliating them that maybe they are not ‘true guild hunter fans.’ Who cares and who are you to bully someone whose feelings are valid. There was a cancer survivor who knows how fragile life is, who was upset because she may never know how it ends. On her website, people have stated how they feel betrayed, and tricked. Some will walk away from the series all together. Hopefully, it is not because people simply wanted to stretch it out between 2 books in order to make 14 dollars instead of 7. That is where the betrayal really lies. People stay up until midnight to read the book to get away from the grim reality of life. Which is really dark right now. Guild hunter has always been dark, but each book offered relief and closure that was satisfying. ‘This is only a book,’ does not wash because this is life. People bullying people into silence because it is an opinion they don’t like and money held over as more important than people. In California it is a national disgrace that teachers and nurses are homeless. That anyone is homeless, but especially people who should have enough don’t have enough to live. That is when 7 dollars seems like a whole lot more important than to people who don’t have to worry about rent and making ends meet. The on the Facebook discussion page, you can’t discuss the book until November 4th. Is it because people will not be as upset by then? Is it because they are afraid that book sales will suffer if people tell the truth when they are angry and betrayed? Ridiculous. So be aware, this is a dark book from end to end, where they is no bright spot given or reward for people who trudge through this book all of a sudden you turn the page and there is a cheerful message about her other books. WTH!
