kyrielle: painterly drawing of a white woman with large dark-blue-framed glasses, hazel eyes, brown hair, and a suspicious lack of blemishes (0)

See, to my eyes, it's been a significant slide downhill for Lackey recently. The older works have progressively less continuity errors. They may skip around (though I loved Arrows and thought that worked quite well), but they don't violate their own damned reality. I don't recall a particularly high incidence of grammar problems, but if there are, I'll take them back if she can just right more books that don't contradict themselves or otherwise violate their own reality (or contradict other, tied books, as Take a Thief does the Arrows trilogy).

I can forgive a lot; indeed, I'm oblivious to a lot. But the continuity bugs in Lackey have gotten to the aggravating point even for me.
