masaru Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Perhaps this is more appropriate for a Typos thread (is there one yet), but it really bugs me that Wax drops the Bands out of the airship window as it's moving and plummets to the ground with Suit separately, then next time we see Wax, he has the Bands again. Not even a slight mention of "oh yeah, I went back for them, of course." I don't normally like to criticize Brandon's writing, but this seems like a very weird and very big thing to skip over.

Charononus Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 There was a bit of time that passeed iirc. He just went back for them. It'd be fairly easy for him to have done so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masaru Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Oh, it's totally possible for him to have done that, but it seems a bit sloppy to just not even mention it. It's too much "show" and not enough "tell" in writing parlance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterAhlstrom Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Brandon decides the balance of that. We talked about this months ago and he kept it the way it is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad it was at least brought up. I can see how the decision would be made but it definitely threw me out of the story for a couple minutes while I had to go back and check the intervening pages as well as reread the Suit plummet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
