I actually prefer New Amsterdam because I felt like she was more comfortable working with a world that was her own. It's also in NY, but it's in an NY that's her creation due to AU stuff. I agree with you, though; her NYC is not my NYC.
Also, I think part of the 'do not read authors who are ____' has more to do with 'do not financially support things you don't like' than 'you cannot read things by these people'. At least, that's how it works in my head.
Then again, the only author I actually actively boycott is one who doesn't believe in fanwork of her own books even though SHE writes and has published Dracula fanfiction. The hypocrisy BURNS.
