I struggle along the cringey writing style, forcing one foot in front of the other, ignoring the slippery slope and the darkness below.

I can do this, I think. I can make it.

Just when I think I’m in the clear, I’m broadsided by a clumsy exposition dump, and nearly lose my footing, but I remember—I chose this. Me. No one else.

I can resist preemptively one-starring the book. I know I can. (I want to, tho)

What even is this writing? It’s like a bunch of college millennials go to Dragon College ft. Divergent or smth.

What’s with this author and misusing “belied?” It’s happened three times now.

_[…] taking her through the steps with a practiced ease that belied years of experience.

_"No," Thadred said with an edge to his voice that belied his anger.

_Battering from the room behind them belied the guards were hot on their trail.

The use of “belied” belies what she’s trying to say.
