Honestly, I love Kotlc, but I'm getting tired of the ships--but mostly Sophie's ships.

I love Team Foster-Keefe, but Sophie's bland and Keefe is putting too much of himself into caring about Sophie. And don't get me started on OP characters.

How have they not defeated the Neverseen? Sophie is an enhancer, a telepath, a teleporter, a polygot and an inflictor. She should be great, but she's not. She's just...flat. And I get the initial moping and all in Nightfall and Everblaze, but it got excessive. And in Flashback, she was all "I'm stronger than before," but she literally wasn't, she was even weaker. We've seen the Sophie almost dying routine almost a million times. The healing center took too long. But I digress.

They have way too many black swan characters: Sophie, Fitz, Dex, Biana, Tam, Linh, Keefe, Marella, Wylie, Maruca, Stina-- at this point they'll just add Jensi and Glimmer and Valin to the mix. And they all have powers, (sophie has FIVE) and Keefe will get ANOTHER ONE. Also, Maruca was a lame add on for power. You thought Linh and Tam were bad (I actually don't hate Tam and Linh but they're kinda boring); this was shameless and annoying.

Two opinions: So many in the "group" are useless. Fitz doesn't do anything and sits on Sophie, Keefe doesn't do anything except cause drama, Stina is there for no reason, Marella is there for no reason as well and is too OP, Dex makes gadgets we never see--so many people do nothing.

Second, the Forkle twin was so cliche no one ever thought anyone would ever actually do it, but she did it. It was cheap and desperate, and I think it would've progressed the story more if he stayed dead. I'm also glad that Kenric and Brant stayed dead. Plus Brant & Jolie and Kenric and Oralie's relationships are a lost cause, everything could've been so much more interesting and different if those were examined.

Sorry for the rant, I still love Kotlc, just needed to vent.
