Of course it's better Larry Send a noteboard - 19/06/2011 02:22:03 AM
That author uses "eeled" and "eeling" way too often to describe characters snaking through the woods. After 5 times in one book, it started to get annoying. Sure, I get it, he's trying to use something other than a snake reference like I did, but it did get distracting from the story.

EDIT: the book was one of the EMBERVERSE books, not sure which one had it 5 times, but he used the term in several of them.

I was told by an author/reviewer that squirrels are mentioned at least three times in ADWD's 1000 pages. How awesome is that? :D

I think the word has a history of cropping up in Arya's arc. *NM* RandAllThor - 19/06/2011 01:44:19 AM 387 Views
