One of the biggest signs of an inexperienced author I find, is the use of the same phrases over and over within a 1-2 pg section. This author does this constantly and it is maddening. Phrases are used 2-3 times in only a few pgs, & adjectives are used 3 times in one pg. I felt the same way when reading From Blood and Ash. “Gingerly,” for example, was used 4 times in one page to describe taking off a bloody shirt.
