    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.

    Edit:Might as well make it a drinking game at this point, but also explaining what happened to Tobias every book, explaining Tom in at least Jake’s books.
