What is your weird book ick?

Not the standard icks of boarding abusive behavior from MC, FMCs being depicted as unable to help themselves, what’s your WEIRD one?

I’ve discovered mine is how many words are dedicated to describing trees. There is a limit, it is about 2 sentences, and plated prisoner blows past that limit.

“The branchless trees that grow here are shaped like squiggles, as if a child took up a quill and darted it left and right over the paper, bending the line in soft curves all the way to the ground. Most of the sunlight is blocked because each tree has a single giant leaf sprouting from its top, opening like a shell and holding pearly blooms in its pocket that bugs and birds keep flying into.”

“The forest has changed, giving way to branched-out trees. They look more like the ones in Orea, with sharp green leaves and rough bark, and there’s a dusting of moss along the ground that has sprigs of purple flowers swirled through.”

“After passing a hen house, we enter thinned trees, their leaves the color of lilacs, bark as gray as thunderclouds.”
