These are just two examples of lots of sloppy writing. But "wall to ceiling bookcases" makes no sense at all. Infiltrating a military stronghold is the opposite easy to say, hard to do.Īnother instance of weird writing was when the main character wished she had "wall to ceiling bookcases." What the heck does that even mean? It's either wall to WALL bookcases, or FLOOR to ceiling bookcases. For instance, "tintinnabulation" means to ring bells. ? It's EASIER said than done! Harder said than done means that something is difficult to say but easy to do. No less than 4 times the author unironically used the phrase "harder said than done." Harder. But holy crap sometimes the writing was atrocious! Overall, I really liked the storyline, the plot, most of the characters, and even the soft-porn YA aspect of it. This series was much like Longfellow's "Little Girl": When it was good it was very, very good, and when it was bad it was horrid. After finishing all 5 books, I'm left with one question: Where the heck was Armentrout's editor, and how much did he get paid to edit this series?
