'The bad review you see her and other places from the so called MistressElf are from one person who has a vendetta against a well-written and acclaimed novel, for whatever reason. Maybe this one is jealous of the success that has come to the author. Maybe this one is a frustrated writer. Maybe it's PMS. This so-called reviewer must not be a very spriritual or ethical person, to be faking reveiws and trying jimmy the review system. If this person spent time feeding starving children and adults, their time at least would be generating good. Instead, by the abuse of the review system, this one creates Karma and Sin that they will have to pay back to God and the universal balance scales to atone. If one does not like the book. Let it go. What a waste of one's energy. Wasting one's time and energy on making a career of putting up the samely worded reviews day after day to knock Stanek's books and other reviewers is a loser's life. I feel sorry for you and hope that you will mature into an ethical and spiritual person. I pray that you find what your path in life is; one that makes you happy.
