I really enjoy this series. I absolutely love the way it is written, so this critique is very picky, because I am absolutely going to continue to read the series. spoiler alert: Laney’s need to distance herself from everyone is very annoying. I absolutely get not including the kids in all this mess, but they are THE triad. So how does she think that her destiny includes doing this alone. This is all their destiny. it is very self righteous and annoying for her to have that attitude, and causing more stress to them then they would have otherwise. They have less of a life with her gone, then with her there.
