Lol yeah, she's got a lot of purple prose. I was browsing old e-mails the other day, I found a quote I had pasted at somebody:

"I performed the languissement on him until his phallus leapt like a fish on a line..."

So, basically, I managed to COMPLETELY ignore all the problems in the book in favor of the stuff I enjoy. Which, unfortunately, did not happen in the second trilogy, either because I was a lot older, or because she had less of the stuff I enjoy, thus making the problems much more glaring to me.
