The Elusive Elusive Authoress added a status update: Constructive criticism in a one-star review hits far better than a two-star filled with mean words. Indie authors are human. Honest feedback helps us grow — cruelty doesn’t. Dislike the book if you must, but tearing down the author says nothing about the story and everything about the reviewer. Kindness and honesty can exist together.
