The non-impartial narrator who is far too fond of the sound of her own voice. Do what a proper author would do and be invisible, you arrogant wanker.

SCSF: In Threshold, at least, she removed that problem entirely by using a first-person narrator.

It's possible she isn't quite as misogynistic as Newcomb, but it's by a very narrow margin.

And I might say she improved in the end... At least her plots do not devolve into "there is another Dark Lord, Tencendor is in grave danger again, and Carlon is on fire yet again".

Watching that business go down is going to have everyone in the comments section tearing their hair out.

I am not quite sure of everyone, but I can certainly see it happen.

One which just gets more and more painfully obvious as book two endlessly drags it out.

I am not looking forward to that...
