Are you kidding me, we're getting a new core character 54% of the way into the book?

Y'know, in IT, King gives a reason why people don't leave Derry, and that's on a generational cycle. This place has had...3 violent deaths within a week of each other, what I'll call a natural disaster with 7 *extremely gruesome* casualties, and multiple missing children within 8 months? Give me an explanation why no one seems to give a shit! Set the damn table!

This book would have benefited SO MUCH from more table setting and build up. The things that are happening right now should be happening in the last 15-20% of the book, not just over the midpoint. And I sadly just don't have faith in the author's skill to properly escalate in a way that would work.
