I just read part of that article (I'll finish it tomorrow or something) and from what I've so far read.....they're not wrong. Brandon's prose feels genuinely dead, it lacks for good use of literary devices. The stories aren't themselves bad (except of course for the video game mechanics) but the lacking prose makes reading the book feel like a slog.
That article sucked lol
The r/bookscirclejerk reaction to it was priceless though.
Idk I liked it lol. You can palpably feel the driven insanity of the Mormon mode of being flowjng off the page.
