Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am completely fed up with authors forcing the story arc and pacing in order to create more "volumes" of the same story. It smacks of mercenary more than literary motivation. There is absolutely no reason given why the society reverts to Middle Ages in technology, society and religion post apocalypse. The authors offer no plausible explanation and don't even hint that the reasons will emerge in subsequent parts of the series. There seems to be several different groups living simultaneously but it's hard to tell who they are, what makes them different or much about them. "Infected" seem to be split between goodies and baddies but I can't work out how or why from the text. Next time, set the scene, allow the main characters to develop at a natural pace, give the reader a chance to understand the drivers of the story and some clarity of where you are going.
