Review: MUCH APPLAUSE TO TWO SUPER TALENTED AUTHORS WHO ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR READERS!

I have already reviewed Seasons One and Two, so I'm not going to repeat myself. I think what has drawn me into these books, besides the brilliance of the writing, is these two humble authors who aren't writing to appease their own egos, but to bring awesome entertainment to their audience. Having read all of their addendums and interviews throughout the series, I am amazed that two men who could write in depth about what true evil really is, and the struggle we seem to face more and more as time goes on. I thought of it, in the end - but I haven't read the updated Chapter 18 yet, that the struggle between good and evil in these books as a sort of allegory for and explanation of the evil we see perpetuated every day in societies across the world. I could be wrong, but I felt these guys just "get" the evil permeating society, despite pockets of goodness trying to fight back. I often find myself thinking, "how could someone just walk into a movie theater, where people are having a good time and fill them full of bullets?" It truly defies my logic. ***SPOILER ALERT*** However, experiencing the apocalyptic fight between good and evil at the end of Season Three, gave me an odd sort of insight into the depths of psychosis or whatever, which can lead people to sink into a realm over which they almost have no control. Not excusing it in any way, just understanding pure evil was a revelation to me.To Sean and David: you guys are simply brilliant. Thanks for giving me a month of unending pleasure. Each Season DID get better. Not sure if it's just getting to know the characters and understanding the story better, or the simple joy of reading stories that are filled with action that played in my head like a movie, with good sentence structure, vivid descriptions and (for sure) unique characters. Once again, I am blown away by your attention to detail, that you close up loose ends that most authors lose track of, and you don't make it the stories easy on us. You force us to think about what is happening. You are leading authors of a new generation of sci-fi/paranormal/fantasy writers. I wish there was a way I could get everyone's attention here and get them to read your wonderful stories. I have a feeling you two are going to become very successful. Now, I'm off to download some of your other works and see if they compare with Yesterday's Gone. Did I read you are going to write four more Seasons? I thought I did, but when I went back to try to find it, I couldn't. If you write them, I WILL be there. No doubt, the ending leaves a lot of room to expand the story in other ways and I, for one, cannot wait to get on the roller coaster again and continue the exciting and wonderful adventure of Yesterday's Gone!
