Disappointing Read

Tweet

I finished reading a fictional book from a new author. I got the ebook for free. It is the first part of a three-part book from the same author. While the first book is free to download, the second and third parts are like $2.49 each. After reading the book, I do not think I will get the others even though the story is not yet finished. I decided to keep mum on the book and the author’s name, because the author is new and probably even self-published, and I do not want to ruin any chances for a good publishing experience for the said author. While I think the book is not really good, it could have been just me and I hate to put out a bad word out there. In my opinion, it started promising. Towards the middle, the conflict was confusing and contradictory. And towards the end, it seemed like the author rushed it and decided that it’s a good kind of cliff hanger to make the readers wanting. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I deleted the ebook from my kindle and moved on to the next. I still feel like if the author had a good editor, the book may have been improved upon.
