If there's one writing cliche in The Locked Tomb that peeves me, it's when characters casually bite their lips or cheeks so hard that they bleed.
#though i havent discounted the idea that tamsyn muir is somehow playing 4d chess with me#tlt as a whole is a “bubble” like harrow's river bubble in htn. with bendable and subvertable conventions#not like it matters i mean the characters literally have anime color eyes. the tridentarii have alexandria's genesis#it would make complete sense if muir decided to intentionally write in some cliches#but for whatever reason i find this one distracting. it's just a pet peeve whenever i see it in books#it's like the uncanny valley of realism--just realistic enough that everyone and their mother makes their characters do it to seem cool#but not so unrealistic that it feels like a fantasy element#which ig shows that i lack imagination#the locked tomb
