AHHHHH why can I not be coherent about these chapters I DON'T KNOW they just keep pushing all my buttons. Buttons pushed this chapter:

• plot holes turn out not to be plot holes!
• bad guys act intelligently and competently!
• politics!
• focus on adults!

I think the focus on adults is one of the main reasons why each chapter reduces me to incoherent flailing ( Read more... )

It is ruining our ( Read more... )
