On the topic of 'Tiny' Joe Staten (Destiny)

I always thought that particular novel felt weird in the context of the other novels' styles. I know it was Staten and not Nylund, but the narrative and the voice just seemed...less. Smaller. Not as well thought out. I can't think of one word to describe the feeling I'm trying to convey. It felt like I was reading a new writer, not someone that has written prolifically. Seemed like the writer was really nervous, and not confident in his style. Like he was still trying to discover his own "inner writer."

Man, that's so meta.
