    Gaaah! I really, really don't like it when the author forgets where their character is... I mean, really—she's inside the house, dog exploring, finding a pile of clothes, then suddenly they're outside again‽ And the neighbor, who's simultaneously at her door and his own, moment-to-moment

    It's not that I'm looking for an excuse to stop reading this, but... you know what, I have a new Helene Wecker to read

    The cult angle sounds annoying anyway

    One example of this, from Games Workshop a company that definitely has the money to hire proofreaders:

    Two characters are wearing power armour. They fight. Character A throws Character B down into a pit. Character B climbs out, and sees Character A is naked, just as he was earlier?! A moment later, coruscating energy wreaths Character A, blowing his power armour off, and leaving him naked.

    It would be an interesting way to write a temporal anomaly, but I don't remember any time warp being mentioned to explain it.
