Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was prepared to give this book an easy 5 star review. The first book of the series was awesome, it checked all the boxes for me. Science, crime drama, nature, and more. Then the second book: it was ok but really lost me in the political drama. This third book was highly anticipated for me and was a huge return to the roots of the first. I read it in less than 24 hours. Interesting bad guy. Twists and turns. Math. Science. Interesting sidekicks. I was completely hooked. However, I cannot support the use of a cliffhanger in literary work. Sorry. It’s a cheap way out and robs your readers of the satisfaction of reading a book that you only release once a year. Did you think your abilities in writing were so poor I wouldn’t read the next one without some cheap ending? Well. I was gonna read the next one either way. But I’m definitely not looking forward to it as much as I don’t trust you as an author. Consider maybe being more consistent next time and not pissing your readers off right at the end so that they write their reviews of your book freshly scorned ;).
