silly/snarky/unrealistic dialogue. i was reading Orson Scott Card's "Empire". I had no problem with the politics but the snarky and completely unrealistic dialogue absolutely killed it for me, I had to put it down. All I kept thinking was "nobody talks like this!"
Sci-fi/fantasy authors so in love with their world building that the books description alone puts me to sleep. When half the description involves made up words and names I'm not gonna read your book.
