That isn't what i am saying, i have stated several times what i am saying.
I am not telling her how to write a book. I am just stating that she could have explained things better. seriously, do you not understand what that means?
I understand what it means. It means you don't think she's a good enough writer to do what you expected out of the book. Again, you're not taking the book for what it is, you're buttstrated that it wasn't what you expected.
Who cares about "structure"?
Intelligent people.
That is a clear opinion, while you may have liked her books there are many people that don't. so live with the fact there aren't alot of people on the Karen Travis brown nosing fanclub.
Plenty of starwars fans dislike her for whatever she wrote in her books, so before praising her like a god acknowledge the fact she clearly messed up somewhere in the line.
I could make some witty joke here, most likely a 'u mad?', but honestly, at this point, that's beneath me. You're still insisting the only reason I like her work is that I worship her like a god, or I'm a brown-noser. I mean, those insults don't even make any sense. If you're going to resort to idiotic insults, I wouldn't be surprised if more people in the future wrote you off as a moron. I already did, considering that you haven't come back with any decent counterpoint, you've stuck to insisting 'she could've done a better job explaining things hurr da durr da derp'. Which, is not a valid criticism. It's an opinion. She wrote the book how she thought it should be written, not according to buttstrated children.
Just because i am not saying what you want to hear doesn't make my counter points "poorly constructed". unless you have an extreme issue in understand the simple thing i am expressing.
I'm not looking for anything I want to hear from you. I'd just like some sort of legitimate criticism of her work and not whining.
What? So the mystery in why ONI has the funds to do everything despite the fact the UEG economy is shattered is amazing to you?
What the hell does this even mean? How is this even a rebuttal to anything I've said? Sense, you don't make it.

Grey made valid points on the Glasslands's inconsistencies, etc.
Also, in fact, this book received poor rating because of traviss's poor writing skills and it sounded that she didn't use so much facts from Halo universe.
Look at her star wars novels, it received a lot criticism. It's not surprising that Halo Glasslands received similar results.
I even have read this book personally and I can say, it is horrible book.
No, he hasn't. He's been complaining that Traviss didn't hold his hand and tell him everything she could.
I've probably read all of her Star Wars novels, considering I've read a solid 40-50% of the Expanded Universe. New Jedi Order, Legacy of the Force, Fate of the Jedi, Dark Nest trilogy, etc. Please inform me as to which novels of hers have been criticized, so I can go back and look them up. Don't worry, I'll wait.
As far as poor writing skills go, I highly doubt that Lucasarts OR Microsoft would allow her anywhere near a book if she had subpar writing skills, or has been critically lambasted as much as you and Grey say she has been.
Are you mental? I have stated exactly what i mean several times, if i thought she was a flat-out horrible writer i would say so. Stop making up interpretations for my extremely clear statements.
You aren't that bright seeing how you are failing to understand what i am telling you. Then again this confirms i am insane since i keep telling you the same think expecting a different response.
I just now insisted that. you have been insisting the entire time that i hate her when i have clearly stated my issue with the novel. I don't have a "decent counter-point" because i don't need to change anything i have been saying. You are clearly having issues understanding my simple reason for disliking the book. And you can't call me a "moron" if i have said the same thing to you several times and you are twisting the words up.
I am not "Whining" and how is "Should could better explain some concepts" not constructive criticism? I honestly think you are trying to troll right now or you are a retarded child.
In your eyes any bit of "constructive criticism" is nothing more than an opinion if somebody isn't flat out worshiping the novel. You are overplaying the "Everything is subjective" motif.
you might as well say that Halo:CE was poorly done because it didn't explain more of the story. That mystery is what made that game amazing, and it's the same reason why Glasslands was a very good novel.
In which i said
"What? So the mystery in why ONI has the funds to do everything despite the fact the UEG economy is shattered is amazing to you?"
If you can't even remember what you said no wonder you can't understand something simple.
I have been "complaining"? Wolverfrog and i don't get along but i am sure if i Linked him to this thread he would tell you that i am not "complaining". I have avoided the mindless hate with glasslands and gave a clear and simple reason on why i didn't like the novel. Which is call constructive criticism.
You do understand That Lucas removed her from writing more novels right (correct me if i am wrong). And Microsoft does not care about halo They only care about money, do you really think they would give a damn if it made a million bucks?
you have no idea what has been said nor the simple concept of business.
