[Linking Up] Feature and Follow #02

Hosted by : Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read

Q: What is a deal breaker for you in a book? For example, do you abhor love triangles? Or can't deal with bad editing?

My first answer would be bad editing because I just can't stand reading something I want to correct every five minutes. Then, my second answer would be annoying lead characters, regardless of whether male or female. I can tolerate a certain degree of annoyance, but when it goes beyond logic, I'd have to put a stop to it. Well, unless the story is really good then I put up with it.

Simple, right?

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'm really okay with reading an omnipotent narrator. What irritates me is when the POV suddenly shifts from one character to another, and I'm all lost about which character is suddenly the narrator. This is usually a common mistake in new writers. Also, when a POV shifts to a character that hasn't even been introduced yet. I just don't like being kept in the dark, well, sort of.
