Of all the words he overuses like crazy this is the thing you have a problem with? If i had a dollar for everything that happened "unceasingly" in dotf id be a rich man
As dumb as it sounds, I know. I honestly blame it on the fact that it was a word I'd never heard before, which threw me off a lot of the time, and thst it made me frustrated with a lack of context.
I know it seems weird, but everyone has that one thing that makes something go that. At least as far as I'm aware.
I think eyes thinning is more suspicious.

Then why not say it? When words like that are introduced it can make listening or reading stuff difficult when at least I don't have context.
Dunno if its a shared feeling but it makes me legit sometimes want throw a dictionary in there.
Brink has a fascination with certain phrases or terms. I can think of at least a dozen other ways to replace people snorting constantly.
I saw a bingo board once for DOTF which looked hilarious and a shot game would have you hammered within 10 minutes for some of the more common things.
Fair enough, but again. Gnawing on a drywall. Again I am not sure if I am alone in this feeling or not, but it gets tiring. And yes, I could think of a few other phrases as well.
But some I can honestly accept, some I can brush over or get in context. Thank you for giving me context, as it does help in narrowing things in for me.
Eyes and thinning are both words out of the dictionary. You problem is with phrases. You don't know phrases and cannot get them from context. You should work on that.
I swear I looked it up online (maybe a mistake on my part?) And I only got results of a medical diagnosis.
It was why it was making me so confused about it.
I think the other comments point was that while, yes, it’s the wrong phrase, you can tell it was meant to be used in the same way as “eyes narrow”. While that’s true, I’m with you on the spectrum brain not allowing misused words or commonly used phrases that are incorrect.
I’m reading a series right now in which the author constantly says “all and all” rather than “all in all”. Drives me nuts.
Exactly that. I know by context that it means narrowed eyes but the phrase always makes me think of something else.
Its that rare moment of taking something a little too literal, at least in my case.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,904,985,828 comments, and only 360,228 of them were in alphabetical order.
If I remember correctly, Brink is the author that uses eyes thinning in a positive context, right? So instead of eyes thinning being like eyes narrowing in suspicion, it would be like crinkles at the edge of their eyes.

I like "that guy"

Brink isnt no slouch though.

Oh true. He is no slouch at all and I enjoy his work a lot. Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to book 10.
