I fee you. I wrote recently about how an Orson Scott Card book that turned out to not be an OSC book. I didn't figure that out until after I finished it and relooked at the cover. It had all the plot points of an OSC book but didn't have that "magic" I feel when I read his work. His characters always reach me deep inside.
My foray into indie SF and thrillers this year has made me appreciate my favorite authors even more. It's not that the books have been bad, they just didn't rise up to my favorite authors of the genre.
But, as I ready 50+ books this year....I'm starting to have a better appreciation of the value proposition of the indie books. You get what you pay for...and that's not a bad thing.
