It isn't about that it is pretty obvious, not anymore. I realized that my real issue is not the predictability, but that they are making one reveal after another. It could be paced a lot better. Say, keep Raven's true identity secret for another volume; that'd be more suspenseful. Having the reveal so soon feels like they rushed it forward.

But you are right. I shouldn't have high hopes about any of this. Not anymore.
