I wasn't making the point that the whole book reads like a poorly written smut-fic. I was making the point that there is plainly bad writing running rampant throughout the pages. This was the first paragraph of Chapter 13 of book 1, but I could have just as easily pulled something from the beginning of the first chapter. When an author feels the need to use 5 adjectives and like 2 adverbs in a sentence.... all while not maintaining the same tense... something is clearly wrong.

I won't deny that maybe people enjoy reading it. It's the oldest cliche out there, and no matter how many times its re-done, there will always be fans. It just can't be called good writing. Or even mediocre writing
