I really can't stand all the "Yipee!"s, very much overused in the earlier books. Way to kill any chance of your character ever being taken seriously as an adult.

Also, in just about every book she's got to "relearn how to breathe" for some reason or another.

I really REEAALLY hate this one: "I could taste fear at the back of my throat". Wow, that's so deep and dramatic... *eyeroll* Can't she come up with a new one. This one's experation date was like book three.

I agree with the "flat-out does it" posts. They flat-out make my eye twitch.
