Re: Where did Erin Hunter lose your interest and why?
Disclaimer: Only referencing plot events and arc progression, ignoring writing style and character ...issues, to put it nicely.
New Prophecy books were.... meh. They didn't have the simplistic, clan-life chaos and charm that the previous series wrote about excellently. But I held on, thinking the new territory (which I didn't like anyway) would just be a stepping stone to bringing back the mundane plots of the first series.
Power of Three shattered those hopes. The major influence of StarClan was a turn off for me (not to mention the beginning trend of genuinely "special cats" by inheritance) but I did trudge on until the end. The plot didn't pick up, and unfortunately Erin Hunter continued the theme of having significant StarClan influence.
I barely read fifty pages of Omen of Stars. Absolutely miserable.
Until Erin Hunter stops using StarClan and special cats/overwhelming prophecies as a crutch to aid in their plotting, I'm done.
