Dance of thieves

[u/StunningAd7221]

I'm reading dance of thieves. I'm on chapter 12 and while the plot is keeping me reading, I think the writing can be a bit too upright when it comes to the characters' intentions and aims.

I feel as though I can see the seams in the author's canvas, why she is putting that information, sometimes even out of the blue, or what she is trying to do describing a certain feel, while other times she simply tells me things that she could show me if she took enough time to do so.

I don't know if that makes sense.

Has anybody noticed, or felt the same way?

Is it about a poor writing/editing, maybe? Or is it just the style?

Btw, I often compare the writing with Holly Black's for example. I know these two are completely different styles, but Black never tells me something she could show piece after piece in more chapters (such as for example a feature of the FMC. "She doesn't give up" or you show me different situations in which that happens)
