I think the creativity thing hits the nail on the head. I was trying to figure out how best to review The Goddess Test when it hit me that there's an alarming trend in YA literature (besides the abusive relationships and whatnot) of plots that are just...small. I mean, the Suethors set up worlds of magic and vampires and angels and can do all sorts of fun and creative things with them, but make the plot so freaking FLAT! Lord!
Yeah, I'm not into One Piece, but I know what you mean. It's like Harry Potter, when the Suethors replace Harry, Hermione, and Ron having to be creative or do things on the fly with them carrying around nine million magic contacts and potions and artifacts and whatnots.
XD I think that describes Zoey perfectly. I can just see her staring off at whatever hot person is sitting next to her, while Damien or Stevie Rae says "Zoey! What are we going to do about the evil red-eyed ghosts? Zoey? Zoey? *waves hand in front of her face*"
