If Game of Thrones ended with everyone becoming zombies and NO ONE getting the throne, I wouldn't complain. Ideal ending, tbh.

Trust me. No one has a formula for writing books that sell a lot. Not even the big publishers. Everyone's just fumbling around at this.

I was asked if positive reviews mattered when there are a lot of reviews on a book. Yes. Because the people who HATED it? WILL review.
