I’m currently reading The Duke and I and the author is constantly using the word “acerbic”. I had never heard of the word before now and had to google the definition. The word has shown up so much that I’m tempted to go through the book and count its appearances lol.

Have you noticed any authors having favorite words that they use page after page?

      Yeah it was like 3 uses in first mist born. And only 1 in rest of series. But because it was there so much in the first book it became a meme. Uncertain about how much it was in Elantris.

        He used it twice in one chapter in Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, which was released this year.

      No, I read two of them in a single chapter in Yumi and the Nightmare Painter which is what reminded me.
