The franchise shifted to Origin thereafter and I was never motivated to end up with yet another account to yet another e-store.<br /><br />I don't see any issue with the recommendation in your post though. I know that you liked book 1 and 2, and disliked book 3. <br /><br />Based on that recommendation, I might give starting the series a try. If I liked book 1, I would read book 2. Then if I had enough, I would stop. Or if I was still intrigued, I would skim book 3 and decide if it was worth giving it a shot or if it really degraded as badly as others have said and not bother.

My intention would be to make them aware the ending could be problematic so that they knew what they could be getting into. I wouldn't want to be too strong about my dislike because they could enjoy the ending or that they could enjoy the journey enough that the ending didn't spoil the rest of the series for them.<br /><br />Much of how I talk about endings depends on if I know the other person is interested in that type of series or not. For example, if I knew someone was never going to play Mass Effect then I'd have no problem saying exactly why I disliked the original ending. But for something they might like I don't want to taint their perceptions about it.Pallaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052537793722183657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-90816861174665970522022-01-25T11:27:29.336-08:002022-01-25T11:27:29.336-08:00Great topic.

I can try to block out memory of the bad late stuff and try to just remember the early stuff I liked but it's hard to recommend something when you have tell someone to stop early.Polyniceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17572569966804611855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-56192810029457117032022-01-25T00:54:55.645-08:002022-01-25T00:54:55.645-08:00I'd probably pass on recommending a book and/o...I'd probably pass on recommending a book and/or series with a disappointing ending. There are plenty of times where I don't want catharsis, I want a good ending. I mean, if I want disappointment, I'll watch the news.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.com
