    Has anyone edited those to cut out the redundant explanation sections in every book? It’s not too bad when you’re not binging them, but good lord these were not made to be read right after another.

        They sometimes work it into the story a lot. You can usually skip the first 3 pages or so no problem, but other times you have skim through to find relevant details.

        Also when the aliens show up you get like a half page to a page describing them (each of them) as if you haven’t read the same thing 30 times.

        I get why it’s there, they were written to be accessible for anyone who just picked up book 42 at a yard sale or whatever.

        Edit, also the descriptions of every goddamn animal, their instincts, and the morphing process of each. Granted, those actually differ a bit because the process is different everytime, but there’s only so many ways to describe hairy Fly legs exploding from your chest.
