On top of that, as someone else said, it spins off another subplot that doesn't really seem to be moving toward anything and just complicates the story, and that's happening at the time in the series when the author needs to be bringing things in tighter and toward a conclusion.
I think that's my main complaint with a LOT of it, though. When (to me) it feels like he needs to be tightening things up, instead he's just spinning off new plot threads left and right.

If he just wanted to bring back a character, why would it be the worst one? Also, I don't think she changed all that much. She just got done murdering an innocent mentally challenged person BEFORE the "transformation", and she now believes her entire family to be dead.
It does seem like the biggest complaint about the series is its complexity, and I'm not sure why. Life is complex. We have a million stories that are tight and neat, why do we need another?
