I thought it was a little juvenile, but I reminded myself that the books were actually written for, you know, juveniles.<br />I love that you used this as an example.

My biggest complaint with the series is that none of the elements that were essential to the final book were mentioned in the first six.<br /><br />Its an artifact of them being written and released one book at a time. Each book is 'stand alone', with its own arc. You'll find less holes in a seven book series that was written as a single arc. But how many kids have the patience to read seven books to find a decent ending?<br /><br />If the writer has to explain it to the reader, its a hole.Kiwasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462151687403637999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676840.post-74014569612439049772011-07-30T14:39:58.853-06:002011-07-30T14:39:58.853-06:00reretoxaWormtail being who he was, I highly doubt ...reretoxaWormtail being who he was, I highly doubt that explanation. He was too timid to remain. Either way, My critique group would tell me to show it in my manuscrpt. It is still a hole, but thanks for letting me know.
