Hi

Hey person that got in this blog for a cookie recipie (trust me even that's not that good)! I haven't updated lately and I'm really sorry (not) but I had some things to catch up to (mostly sleep and watch anime).
Back to the reason of the update. I've read a lot of science fiction books lately-dear reader, if you'ren not into books, I suggest the chocolate chip cookies ;). So yeah all the books had some romance, sickly sweet but mostly okay. What really bothered me was the way the writer was thinking. "It's a science fiction book, so there's magic and stuff which sells. Oh, look, a plot hole. Whatever since magic exist I'll cover that up with some unreasonable shit that has no connection to the storyline whatsoever."
I'm dead serious. You peole couldn't possible have that this though.
And now you probably think this is uncalled for so I'll give youan example so you can sympathize with my pain (I'm such a drama queen).
Take The Mortal Instruments for example. (This contais spoilers) Her brother comes literally out of nowhere when it could have been literraly anybody else exactly at the point when she needed someone to develop a romatic relationship. And let's not talk about how Simon turned into a light walker vampire (too convenient).
Or the fact that all the characters have a partner exactly made for them from the first freaking book.
Or let's just go to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians book 2 and let's think how convenient it is that the only thing that can ressurect Kronos is the thing that can bring Thalia back to life since Rick Riordan needed some main character for the next book.
Another example, maybe a little unrelated: The Heroes of Olympus, The House of Hades. Jason Grace has  been literraly useless. The only thing he did was losing his memory. So in THOH when Nico must confess he's gay and someone from the seven must be there (since Nico doesn't get a chapter on his own) Rick Riordan decides that Jason must be the one because he has to do something.
So yeah, that got off topic, me ending up talking about how convenient things get in some books. You probably hate me now so my job here is done. Bye.
