I'm currently halfway through Tchaikovsky's Shadows of the Apt series and I'm enjoying the plot but finding his writing style a bit tedious at times - excessive rehashing of events that happened like two chapters ago, overembellished emotional dramatics, and painstakingly spelling out every single character's internal monologue like it's a Jane Austen novel.
I know CoT was written later, so I'm wondering if his tone/style has developed a bit? He has cool ideas, I'm just wishing he'd trust the reader enough to get a bit more 'show, don't tell' with his writing...
