1. The audiobook reader was good until she did this horrible, screeching high-pitched voice for a toddler character. And then kept doing it at random intervals like jump scares.
2. The King Arthur mythology was interesting! Turning it into white supremacy was also interesting! I think!
3. The author is obsessed with making anti-fat jokes & commenting on people's weight, in the style of Bridget Jones commentary that wasn't even funny then.
4. A major character almost dies by falling off a roller coaster. AS IF I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH SCARY SCENARIOS GOING THROUGH MY HEAD.
6. The author repeats an exact plot arc from previous books with different characters. It's so similar that it's weird an editor let it happen?
7. I will continue to read this series even though I feel mad about it half the time.
