Same

**Meliana** · 12-18-2018, 12:25 AM

I'm pretty sure I'd find them hard going.

**stlavin95** · 12-18-2018, 01:01 AM

Me too

**wickedrum** · 12-18-2018, 05:37 AM

yeah, I would just skip pages and then more pages till I realised there was no point to reading at all

**Meliana** · 12-18-2018, 06:02 AM

Not much point reading like that.

Completely agree with you there. She's not the only author to fall into that trap. If it's a fancy party, I don't need to know all the fabrics, colours, trimmings, jewellery for every outfit.

Or specific details of all the food served. Unless of course it's going to directly contribute to the plot.

**Meliana** · 12-18-2018, 07:31 AM

That really is unnecessary detail.

**stlavin95** · 12-18-2018, 02:15 PM

Certainly is

**Meliana** · 12-19-2018, 11:11 AM

Some writers are very difficult to read for that reason.

**stlavin95** · 12-19-2018, 02:19 PM

Yes they are

**Meliana** · 12-21-2018, 08:06 AM

I loved the new episode!

I kept wondering why Briannna didn't use a branch as a walking stick, though.

**wickedrum** · 12-21-2018, 08:57 AM

It didn't occur to me either but I'm pretty sure it would have occurred to me if I was in her situation right enough!

**Meliana** · 12-21-2018, 09:42 AM

Well exactly! There must have been something there she could have used.

**wickedrum** · 12-21-2018, 10:32 AM

Laoghaire surprised me. I didn't expect so much goodness from her.
