Anomaly

I like the GameLit elements in this book and always looked forward to those parts. The only down side for me was that all of the characters, but especially the main character, would become furious or melancholy for no reason. I don't mind drama, but if the feelings or actions of the character don't make any sense, it's not enjoyable. It's especially frustrating because often times even one, short line of explanation would have made a big difference. For instance:

The first books ends with something that leaves you wondering why it wasn't explained earlier. Surely this book will explain why it wasn't, right? It does not. The characters all seem to assume that it's perfectly obvious why things happened the way that they did, but it didn't make any sense. In fact, it's completely unreasonable. Even a half-hearted explanation would have made it more palatable, but as it is it left a bad taste throughout this book for me.
