Travis is a great storyteller, but the last 4 books have shown that he doesn’t put much effort into switching up his descriptors and uses the same phrases hundreds of times, to the point where you can predict what will be said in nearly every sentence. “Met his gaze evenly” “Breaths came in ragged gasps” “Hit the (x) with a sickening crunch” “Felt the icy chill of his dark mana” “(X) opened and closed their mouth a few times, as if trying to decide what to say” just to name a few. love the story and characters, but the writing style is starting to annoy me.
