I agree with ATDrake on Ysabel. In addition, GGK's overuse of modernisms like JPEGs and brand names like Coke were irritating. Also, though the novel takes place in France the overuse of French words when their English equivalents would have made more sense contextually was extremely annoying to me. For example, when all your characters are from English-speaking North America, they're not going to hand someone a serviette, but a napkin.
