Yeah. There just seems to be a bit of hypocrisy here. A book that people hate (largely) get's a sequal yet one that's about 50-50 and that people seem to care about (with regards to it being a standalone) get's cancelled. I don't buy that excuse either because ROD didn't do well with people at all and yet they're happy to continue it despite the magnitude of backlash? The only excuse I can think of is that they didn't execute the story very well and it became too convuluted in the space of one book and they had no idea how to continue it well as is, due the poor execution and fast pace. If they'd slowed down the pace a bit they could've continued it naturally and it would flow. It started off well but, yes, it did get a bit weird towards the end. Still they left it open ended (slightly) with regards to MC's powers, leaving me to expect a sequal but to find out no, that's where it ends, so again poor execution. They dug themselves into a hole with this one and it would've been a hard one to come out of so instead of admitting their failure gracefully they just say 'it didn't do well with people' - which I can understand if it wasn't so obvious that they don't pay attention to 'how well it does with people' ie: ROD (i know it's only one example, but still...)
