This week's question from Parajunkee & Alison is:
Q: What writing device or trick most irritates you when
reading a book? For example, if an author employs an omnipotent narrator that
is sometimes considered bad form.
I have trouble with high fantasy sometimes because I feel like the author can just make up any fantastical creature or magical abilities to help get out of dire situations. I don't like when the magic is too convenient. I don't think all fantasy is like this, and I've certainly enjoyed some fantasy, but sometimes this is why I don't like books in this genre.
This is a really interesting and thought provoking question. I'm really looking forward to exploring what I assume will be a wide variety of answers!
Thanks for visiting. Please come back soon.

Deus ex Machina, right? Totally. As someone who likes writing epic fiction, this shouldn't really tick me off but it does! Make a world, but make the rules right. Old follower just hopping by :)
ReplyDeleteHigh fantasy, that is a good one. Some people just have a little too much imagination and not enough continuity.
