Leaving out all the sniffing, braid-tugging and skirt-smoothing deprives the reader of so much context.

It leaves space for all the angst, emotional angst, existential angst, teenage angst, elderly angst, survivor angst, and many many MANY manymanymany other flavours of angst, along with (what i thought read like) various pop culture based takes on depression, manic-depression, multiple-personalities, PTSD, childhood trauma, and some of the silliest therapy ever depicted in modern literature.

....to be clear i really do like and enjoy STA, i think the worldbuilding is brilliant and the action glorious and the characters engaging and it remains an automatic pre-order for when the series resumes, i just found this element to be overdone and repetitious.
