I agree with you that cliffhangers can make me excited for the next book, but they can also frustrate me when the next book isn't out yet. Eventually though the book moves to the back of my mind as I start reading other book and usually I deal with cliffhangers that way.<br />I can't stand it when it feels like there's a cliffhanger endign just for the sake of having a cliffhanger ending. And if possible I prefer endings to have some resolution even if there's a cliffhanger, there should be things that get solved at the ending as well.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284689418552571180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122122426051336537.post-90444840386254911602014-12-03T23:21:37.622-06:002014-12-03T23:21:37.622-06:00I think it depends on the cliffhanger!

But if they are separated, or mad at each other, or one of them "dies", I hate it. Makes me super anxious.

I HATE when the are gimmicky, which some are more so than others, like THE FALCONER *glares*. Others, like the ending of The Winner's Curse, I feel are ok. I guess overall though I'd prefer not to have them. Like you said, if I love a book I am going to read the sequel whether or not their is a cliffhanger but it's annoying having to read a book just BECAUSE of the cliffhanger. That's like stories that should be one book getting dragged out into 3, or in the case of The Selection, FOUR. Grr.

I love the idea of the expectation but I can see how they can drive one crazy.

If an entire series is out and I know that I can get the next book fast, then I don't mind them at all. But for those that just came out and the next one is a year away, yeah that doesn't go over so well haha. <br /><br />Ahhh I'm on the fence, I can't decide if I love or hate them in the end, because as bad as they suck sometimes, it does make me want more.Christy @ Novel Inkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692226750709877365noreply@blogger.com
