By the way, italics been appearing on average, for the entire book, at least once per page, usually in the narrative. Sometimes, even twice or three times. They're annoying me almost as much as the long dashes and the word, obvious. Either she had bad English literature teachers, or she failed to learn anything from them.
The story I'm following abuses the poor ellipses to heck and back. Italics and ellipses is a pretty poor way to put drama into the story. Most of the time, authors can't figure out to manufacture tension through clever description and tense situations, so they use them as crutches. They do work when you use them sparingly, but when it's every pages? It seems to like the author doesn't know how to carry their story.
