Myth Weaver
I'm a loyal reader.
If I like your work, I'll buy everything that you publish. If your series is good, I'll read a crappy prequel. I'll even read a nothing little story in which not much happens to a vampire I know is fated to die.
I'll stay with you when whole novels cover only a scant day, and you spend way too much space on minor characters. I'll continue to follow the exploits of your hero when you go on and on about his political virtue compared to his foes.
I'm a loyal reader to a point.
I've always hated John Grisham's endings, but I kept reading his books. That is, until one day when the ending was so bad that I took the paperback and threw it across the room when I finished. No more Grisham for me.
I picked up The Omen Machine to read on a recent vacation. To say I had low expectations would be an understatement. I read the reviews that almost universally panned it. Still, I couldn't resist reading the latest entry in The Sword of Truth series.
The Omen Machine is one of the worst books I have ever read. The only benefit anyone could possibly derive from it is to see for themselves why authors are advised to show instead of tell and why one of the cardinal rules of writing is not to tell the reader the same thing over and over again.
I didn't throw the book across the room because it was on my Nook, but the sentiment is the same.
No more Goodkind for me.
