Review: Bloody Questions!

I feel like the fact that Lissa went 300 years into the future and was stuck there was reasoned well enough.  What I do not feel was well thought out were the addition of all there characters, and monsters, and abilities.  The Saa Thalarr are NEVER explained,or spawn hunters, what is the difference between the tow?!  Those who cannot be named are not really explained, we get they are Gods but what is their purpose? Fox is just kinda oh look she's important.  There are so many things that are just left unexplained, so many people that are thrown in with back stories that are either mentioned in passing or not at all, what's up with The Guardian?!  The Larentii, not really explained, I mean you get giant, blue, powerful, but if they are Godlike, then what is the point of the Gods?  How is it that Lissa was stuck on the High Demon planet, but they later in the book she is traveling the universe and jumping planets no problem, no training, no anything!!!??? And what is up with both of her nieces being super powerful, why does the one have wings, and how did they get that way?!  It's just like oh, I found a way, end of reasoning, that feels a little bit like, "Oh, I have no clue what to write, end of trying."  There are so many things that just don't make sense, but not only that, there is so much crammed into this story that it is hard to keep everyone, and everything straight.  And was it just me, or was everybody else confused as to why she was all of a sudden so about Rene?  It made absolutely no sense whatsoever!  Sure the book before they were getting along better, but it makes no sense for her suddenly to be crying out to him and asking him for help in her life, that part really annoys me.  And how many times must we here that Merrill rejected her, "sight unseen," whining is not the way to go about gaining reader sympathy.  I guess the more I sit here and write these reviews for these books the more I see how little I like them, and all the things that were thrown in them.  I think part of the problem is that this series interacts with like 3 others, same characters and all, that is just too confusing and rude in my opinion.  I will say that before she became a God these books were better, first 5 are better than the last 5 by far.
