I think it was the introduction of 'powers' that killed it for me, and reincarnations. Don't get
me wrong, those types of plots are exciting to read about - but in a group of wild cats? I do understand that
there is a bit of a magical element to it with leaders receiving nine lives, but the ability to enter a battle unscathed,
or to sense things far, far away, or to literally mind read another... it just lost the traditional and daily-plot-driven
scenarios that the first series created so beautifully.
