Adrian Tchaikovsky--the author who introduces you to a cornucopia of obscure vocabulary to communicate *just* the right idea, but also uses one word to the point of embarrassing his editor. Has used "reckon" at least 10 times in the back half of the book. That may be a conservative estimate because it is making me want to throw my phone each time I read that a character reckoned something.
