Glad you liked it. It was very controversial and I gave plenty of warning... but some people don't listen. Don't get me wrong, it was hard to get flame after flame after flame on the subject manner. But in the end I am stronger because of it. I can take critism and weed between constructive and destructive. And, I hate that I feel this way because every reviewer/reader is important.... but I do tend to think author's opinions are more important. Other authors know how much you work on the timing, storyline, characterization, etc. A general reader tends to think it easy to create something beautiful. I can't count how many "new" authors say "Wow, I didn't realize how hard it was to write something that makes sense." That comment actually drives me insane... LOL
You made it clear in your summary what was to come and the fact the reader did not pay attention is not your fault.
