A letter to the Erins, Regarding Metaphors

(Spoilers for something you should've read by now)

Dear Ms. Hunter(s),

It has come to my attention that in many of your books, you appear to realize that metaphors exist just as you start your new book. You ponder its possible uses, and come up with many. So, the first sentence of your book uses the metaphor, 'watery light.' Now, one could say that this an adequate metaphor. I suppose it is. So the reader is satisfied. Yet, as one reads to, say, the 20th chapter, they notice that you have used the metaphor 'watery light' once again. At this point, the reader contemplates whether to mention it or to keep reading. Judging by the fact that this metaphor re-use has not yet been reported, the reader will probably dog-ear the page for later reference and dive back into the book. Approximately one day later, the reader picks up the book and reads to the end. And at the end of this book, (Long Shadows), an event occurs in which a certain character who I will not say the name of (Hollyleaf. Sorry. I can't keep a secret.), perishes. As they die somewhat melodramatically (work on that, too, Erin!), 'WATERY LIGHT' spills over them. Where was your editor during all this garbage?

(I love your books)

I demand a rewrite.

Cordially,

Lilyspark
