I don't think the lack of a bloodline is the issue. Its more about there being no explanation as to why Rey is so powerful with the force and it comes so naturally to her. She just just kind of gets it, with no training, and ends up doing it better than any of her heroes or foes. There have been plenty of non Skywalker force users -- but they at the very least had an implied reason for their powers. I suppose something about her could be revealed in episode 9, but so far her rise seems sort of hollow.
