Close one book, open another
I finished one book, and now am on to the next. I'm already disappointed in this last book in the Earth's Children series. Any book that starts out treating my like a moron just doesn't sit well with me. In the first three pages, the author is rehashing every stupid detail it seems, that I, as a faithful reader, know full well by now. I find it a bit insulting. You want to bring new readers up to speed? Well, they can either go back and read the books as they were written, or you can let them figure it out in a more subtle manner. You don't have to beat me over the head with poorly written explanations. And now it seems not only is the main character the inventor of everything (I'm expecting to see her invent the wheel in this book) but she also has superhuman hearing and sight. UGGGGG!!! I hope it gets better quickly. I was really looking forward to this book.
