lkh_lashouts"The latest on best-seller Hamilton's series featuring Meredith Gentry, the fairie princess/PI in the Unseelie Court, reads sorta like fan fiction."
"Newbies will struggle to digest the plot; In exchange for the lives of captured enemies, Gentry bets her evil Aunt Adais, Queen of Air and Darknesss, that she can bring back to life their long-dead gardens--and produce an heir-- by boinking the guards, washed-up jester Abeloec and rough 'n' ready Mistral. But everyone will enjoy the marathon, 40-page opening sex scene. While we bow to proud Merry's stamina, we'd love to see her lead men (or goblins) into battle with more than just her sex appeal." C+

Seems pretty damn insulting to fanfiction to me. But look it's not just us who are 'total haters, omg we suck'
