I am so smart that I did THAT move, but lets not think about THAT because its so bad. I cannot even remember how many times a character would be all "I am so smart, everyone else sucks. My most hated feature of this books, and what makes me write this post, is the absurd overuse of characters withholding information even from themselves.

Hi! I just finished the latest book in the Dandelion Dynasty.
