What prompted this?
Wayfriend appeared in this forum today and made a few posts, then concluded that the prevailing tone of the forum was coloring his recent completion of the book and that he wanted to digest what he had read without having all that negativity influence his assessment.
Elsewhere, dlb asked Menolly why she was avoiding this forum, since she read the ARC back in July. Her response:wayfriend wrote:Sadly, I think I am going to stop reading this forum for a while. All the hate, and my inclination to counter it, feels like it could ruin what was for me a good and important experience. I want to contemplate it enjoyably for a while. There's a place for people to share their disappointment here, and that's all good, but I want to share my enjoyment with someone.
Let's make this one thread that draws such posters in, rather than pushing them away.Menolly wrote:I want to give TLD a chance to grow on me. I raced through the ARC so quickly so SD could send it on that maybe I just didn't give it the attention it deserves. Until then, I don't want to spoil it for myself from insights other have posted.
