Q: What is a deal breaker for you in a book? For example, do you abhor love triangles? Or can’t deal with bad editing? 

Non-structured multiple POV's (points of view)Don't get me wrong, I love multiple POV's.I hate it when a writer gives the POV of two or more characters and doesn't show a clear break between the character's POV. It's extremely frustrating.------ A huge whooshing sound made the boy look up. A huge dragon dropped from the sky. Fear rippled down his back. He should have listened when Papa told him not to fish in Dragon Lake."Yummy," he thought, "there is nice little snack down by the lake." His stomach rumbled in agreement.
The first line is a boy fishing.The second line is the dragon.
