My natural story style is way, way darker than anything I've ever put out. I've abandoned half written books, just to prevent them from getting out into the world... So I can see it.
The idea of some of the people in given stories being monsterous is actually there. At least in this series. (A few others, though I promise, I tried to keep that to a dull roar, instead of painful screams!) For Taman Baker at least, it becomes a real problem. One that will haunt her well past the end of the trilogy.
Timon actually walks away with a fairly clean conscience on the matter, comparatively. It isn't all bad, but what they do in order to try and save all of reality isn't kind, either.
Most of the others aren't as directly involved in Will's training. So they come out pretty well that way.
*Yes, you can talk about books here. Or if you need to vent in a more personal way, you (anyone) can always email me directly at: power_dale@yahoo.com if anyone has things to say that they don't want to here in the open.

I don't know if discussion of the books is permitted here, but I just felt like I had to write something, get my thoughts out of my head. For background, I discovered the YA series a few weeks ago, and I've been reading them in order, but I haven't read any of the other series.
I'm about a third of the way though the first Coalescence book, and I just can't keep reading any more. I tend to get emotionally involved with the characters I'm reading about - especially long-running series like Young Ancients. And I just can't bear the idea of the monsters the Baker family has become. Timon, Trice, and Taman's actions are so far beyond the pale, that I can't even bring myself to keep reading to see if they've somehow been controlled by someone else, or if they truly are that evil. I literally was sitting on my bed shaking, trying not to throw my kindle through the wall, reading about what they're doing to Willum. I don't know if Tor, Tiera, or the others are in on it, but I can't bear reading any more to find out.
Please don't take this as a criticism of the author or writing quality. It's just gotten far too dark for me.

(If you ever wonder why I put the year, it's so that no one gets confused, fifteen years later! The Internet is forever. Until the *alien overlords come... Then the rules change I bet.)
*Or super A.I. or what have you. It's always something.

Three will be that. Part of the time.

I can still do it in about fifty thousand words. I won't because that isn't the nature of this book, which means a pertinent sub-plot.
That and really making everyone work for the resolution, instead of just describing it in a few pages. Then, that's a book. It's always about the journey. That's kind of the point, or else I'd only have to write the last page.

I need to make sure I tie up all the threads (Or at least the important ones.) That's from six different reality schemes, so there's a bit to get to! (Yay!)

(It does very little good to slam into a full-time work schedule that few would bother with, if we are simply in a period of slow sales. Holding most of them back for when things recover (which they do tend to do in life) would be the better plan. If that's what's going on, of course.
Still, I won't hold back the conclusion for too long. That would be unfair to the people that have been trying to keep up!
