re: #233 BishopX

My particular peeve is that Weber uses the same techno-dumps across multiple books in the same series. By the third time you read it your eyes start to glaze over…

Which, in my opinion is poor writing. I’m smart enough to pick up a bit on how the pieces fit if the information is fed in piecemeal via multiple discussions when the data makes sense within the context of what the characters are discussing. (See Bujold, Lois McMaster.)

Then again I think Bujold’s prose is pretty darn readable regardless compared to Weber’s.
