Mags

I couldn't agree more wholeheartedly . . . For me, KOTLC is one of those series that you've sort of grown out of, but you keep reading it because your already emotionally attached. I also would like to say, I present my opinion with nothing but respect. I realize I can get a little heated when talking about what I like/don't like in a piece of media. Everyone interprets fiction differently, and has different taste, these are just my thoughts. (spoilered for length) I definitely don't think that Shanon put any malice or illl intent into any of these issues, I just think it might be a lack of in-depth thought over some things. It feels half-fleshed out, and that leads to holes and other problems. Like others said above, I totally respect her as an author and I think what she's achieved is really cool--I just think her writing could be a little more thought out. Either that or I'm thinking about it too hard/ my biases are just huge in this one/ I'm thinking about it irrationally. What are your thoughts?

He waited. "How . . . long exactly will this take?"

Penn put his hand in and was swept away as well. "So . . . it's that easy to get into the vault?"

The thug responds with a growl in a language you don't recognize. "Sleeper is going to try to put them to sleep," Kurtis explained. @TheRavenHasLanded

Kurtis glanced at the remaining two fighting the others. They were thoroughly distracted. "Alright, might as well try I suppose."

"You can do that?" He looked a little uncomfortable at the thought of it.

"Not all of us have weird magic powers," Kurtis said with a smirk, "Your going to have to do it yourself."

"I wouldn't be against it if we knew how."

He rolls his eyes. "They might follow us."

"And not everyone one is as wonderfully strong as you," Kurtis mumbled to himself.

"I don't know . . . maybe a few minutes? How long would it take you to get up in plate armor made of rocks?"

"If we just leave them here, they'll get up eventually."

Dude that's just a piece of bread . . . why . . . 259. Get extra thick crust because that's the best part.

"OH." After another dodge, Kurtis shoved his shoulder into the thugs stomach and pushed. The man toppled after a bit of effort, and hit the ground with a loud bang. He put his foot on the thug just in case. " . . . We can't hold them down forever." He said, a little out of breath.

256. Have never heard of cheeseburger pizza.

"Oh, Like you did?" Kurtis yells sarcastically. "How do I knock out somebody who's made of concrete?" He dodges another swing from his opponent, and then pushes his sword down on the thugs head. Like usual, it just bounces off.

The thugs grunts again, but doesn't fight it--he knows he can't get up with Sleeper on top of him. Kurtis is locked in a duel with one of the other thugs. The Haki man used his relatively small size to doge between attacks, but was having the same luck as Sleeper when it came to attacking himself.

The thug just grunts, struggling to stand. It seemed whatever made him so hard also made him ridiculously heavy.

It doesn't go in either, but the blow is enough to topple the thug, who was already unbalanced.

It clangs off dully and sparks fly. The thug is startled by Sleeper's roll through his legs, and stumbles back having a hard time keeping his balance.
