I find this use of descriptors odd. Instead of “Mercy said, her voice tentative,” it says “Mercy’s voice tentative.” It isn’t BAD persè, but it does feel strange to me, particularly since the author does this a few times early in the book but not in the latter half. It just feels unnatural and doesn’t flow as well for me, particularly here where he uses it for two different characters back to back.
