I just don't like the second semester as much, and I think the problem is all the action. Fletcher's action dialogue and pacing isn't all that great, it's just "X happened! We have to do Y! Z, you're with me!"
The first semester was less exciting and I feel things flowed better as a result. Stuff still happened, but the characters had room to breathe and develop. Here's everything is so jammed full of characters running here and there, discovering plot elements and making plans that it just feels a little sterile.
The story feels like it's relying on its verbs, when the Gotham Academy I fell in love with relied on its proper nouns and their adjectives.
