From the Romantic SF website in re Lee and Miller's Crystal Dragon, we have the following reader comment:

I'm a Miller & Lee fan but did not buy their latest because I was annoyed. I think this book should have come out *before* their last book (Sword of Orion?). When authors write trilogies or duologies, IMO the books should come out one after another as soon as possible. To have a nonrelated book come between is an insult to fans who wanted the next book ASAP. I realize Miller & Lee might not be to blame and perhaps I'm "punishing" the wrong entity, but I felt the need to make a statement, albeit a very tiny insignificant one.

I tried to answer reasonably. I probably shouldn't have bothered.

papersky -- it's the pollen count, absolutely. All the little spore thingies are getting into people's brains and clogging up the higher functions.

A reasonable answer never hurts. Even if the reviewer is too busy having a hissy to listen, others may learn something. We tend to forget that very few people outside of publishing have any idea how it works.
