"The constant use of "obvi" and "natch" drove me up the wall. And there was one instance of IMHO which she was saying instead of spelling out. The romance was annoying. While I can relate to her body issues, I can say that they don't just magically go away, and life just gets SO much better. Also, the whole Grand Master Gideon is gonna kill me thing just sort of fizzled out toward the end. It doesn't come to any kind of solid conclusion. He basically just tells them he has to think about what Lilly said and let's them go. But the issue is never concluded. Unless you call speculating Lilly will bribe him with her knowledge but they never meet again, a satisfying conclusion..."
