Well I didn't help that I found Zahra my least favorite character of the whole series. She's just so mean and yeah, I know that she helps your group sometimes, but she has such a snarky attidude and it never comes off charming. At least Craig is friendly with some of the others. I wouldn't have minded the cop-out death as much if it didn't last for very little. It's like the fake death trope that many movies use, where its just there to make you sad for less than a minute and then the main characters wakes up. There's no purpose. I get manipulation in story-telling (I've been writting my own stories), but for a series that has serious moments, it just seems to have a tone issue sometimes. Like in the second book after Quinn is saved. Yeah, the moment talking with her was great, but the moments after that are with the festival. I know that your character is the only one to know how she survived, but there's no feeling of dread underneath this celebration for her/him. In here, the characters are upset about the death and later that chapter, they're like "Yeah! Let's go get drunk! Yeah!". Because we always have to be reminded that these are young adults, so they either gotta get drunk or speak in slang. I hate that my character has to hang out with those who are so annoying.
