2.0

Unlikeable unrepeatable characters complain about problems in abstract sense.  Convoluted plotting destroys any quality of writing contained In individual lines.  It feels forced such as when the son Lyr doesn’t know If he is the father of his child.  It raises a question why the author is obsessed with parents who suffer birth related amnesia and rape. Rape occurs in these stories in a casual fashion for no clear reason why it exists.
