I love how the author wrote Kaliyah so much into a corner, ignoring and refusing to mate, that she had to come up with a plot device to move that bit along. That sort of lazy writing always annoyed me.

I’m also annoyed that the author keeps explaining things that don’t need explaining. Like earlier with the color of the medical bag or why she’d need to use a USB to save files. This is book 4. Why is there sentences like: “I knew a lot about nagas. They were my people. I was one of them.”
I really don’t understand the reasoning behind it. It’s not world building because the important things that need explaining (like the revelations in ch. 32) aren’t actually explained that well and are just confusing.
Is it because she *knows* what a letter opener does that it makes it easier to describe? Which, consequently, would mean that she doesn’t know the world that she’s writing about which makes it confusing for her to explain?
I used a small letter opener, so I didn’t risk tearing the letter inside.

I'm really getting annoyed at all the simple explanations on details that don't need it while she [the author] allows the sections that DO need to languish.

oh well.
