Right, so there’s this character that can spit acid yeah? Like, big gobbet, killed a whole ass huge animal earlier in the book. So later on, gets shoved down by some dude. Right up in her face. Does she, I dunno, spit acid? Nope! “I’m helpless × 16” I had begun to wonder why the characters in this book had only slightly north of simian grade intelligence, but evidently the author’s a bit of a write-off as well. Write from experience indeed.
