text: "You thought about three things at once, and in full detail. Are you sure you're a kid?" "She's really smart for a kid her age, and her ability to analyze information defies belief." I feel like the author was never thirteen years old; he seems to think that anyone under eighteen should be incapable of thinking things through. The author uses his position that children are idiots to justify constant reminders that our not completely idiotic main character is a genius. It's very irritation, but just like the first book, despite the irrational people and the terrible justifications for our main character's strength, I mostly enjoyed the book. I hope there's a time skip soon, so the author can stop feeling the need to remind us of how abnormally smart our protagonist is for a child.
