Eke! <br /><br />I strongly believe each book in a series has to be strong enough to stand on its own. If plot gaps are used as a ploy to get me to the second book, that usually turns me off.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187421537981797094.post-86982567499916918182011-08-15T19:20:35.489-07:002011-08-15T19:20:35.489-07:00Personally, I am fine with plot gaps as long as th...Personally, I am fine with plot gaps as long as they are both logical and interesting. Some of the greatest novels (that are not parts of series) I have read possess plot gaps, but the author skillfully insures that they are gaps the reader will enjoy filling. Just more evidence that a negative can become a positive if placed within the right situation...<br /><br />And please watch me play hide-and-go-seek with philsophy inside of the books I read by clicking on "Uomo di Speranza" above!

I rather have a few questions answered.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11698452908549878264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187421537981797094.post-36741699042520494012011-08-15T08:26:33.154-07:002011-08-15T08:26:33.154-07:00I'd also like to see more of Mercy's histo...I'd also like to see more of Mercy's history and why she's here. It didn't bother me too much but I'd still like to know! I agree about the plot being fast-paced, it was actually a little addicting!
