Oct. 14th, 2020 04:29 pmbut I actually like a good bit of exposition in my books.
I mean, the author does have to know how to write compelling monologuing, and ideally it flows in some sort of natural way - but if all the action stops for three pages while our narrator tells me about fainting goats, or why the pinky is more important than the point finger, or about the detailed geopolitical implications of Prince Whoever's abdication from the throne of East Fantasyland? Listen, I'll eat it up with a spoon.
That could just be me.
