As I mentioned in the previous review, Meyer doesn't know how to write introverted, non-sarcastic characters without coming off bland. This is mitigated somewhat by Winter having some eccentricities, but still.
I also feel like Meyer's writing took a huge shift in this book, almost like she had a ghostwriter in the first two books and these are fully her own pieces of writing. There also appears to be huge swaths of text that just drag on but every once in a while, the writing we fell in love with in Cinder comes through. It's truly weird, I don't know how to explain it.
