3rd reading- this time I want to give it 2 stars. It was probably the momentum of the previous books that had me rating it so highly in the first place. It feels like the adults connected to the main cast took an idiot pill or something. Or maybe, it just feels like that because I'm more of an age with those adults rather than the teenagers who are the protagonists of this story? This story felt like the classic adults are useless, kids must save the world plot.

Stable

Although it is a pretty uneven book, there are solid parts and I like the pacing and plot. The change of MC is perhaps the best thing in these latest books, it allows character development of the rest of the squad. And they are frankly more intersting.
However I really detest the alien angle of the plotbuilding, perhaps it was unavoidable, but I still don't like it.
The 4 star are pretty weak and I really, really wish there was half stars to use...
