Way too many characters, a thousand plots that never get resolved, and the author keeps the reader in the dark about EVERYTHING. It’s one thing to have a big reveal at the end, but you’ve still got to learn things along the way. The characters always knew way more than the reader about what was going on and good luck remembering all the details when they don’t hold any meaning. And to top it all off, nearly every character is simply not likeable so you don’t feel like rooting for them.
