Yeah it’s bad. The reader is probably the saving grace of this book.
Compared to the first book this book feels like they had no idea where to take the story and wrote various sections and then threw in a paragraph to connect the two.
The revelation of the wanted poster is the first example of this. WHY was his first reaction like the way it was. There were probably a thousand other ways to get to the connection point, but apparently the writers didn’t want to put in the effort( with so many writers, how is that possible). It could have gone a whole lot smoother…expanded the depth of the story,etc.
It was so grating, I skipped minutes and minutes until I could get back into the story. …and then it starts to fall apart again.
It could have been better.
