Reading this book has made something clear about other writing in modern movies and TV: you can tell when an author loves clever characters, loves wit and banter. Andrew Rowe does. Many modern writers do not.
The entire book is full of cheerful, almost flirtatious quipping between the main characters. They have sharp enough minds that they aren't playing catch-up with the words that come out of their own mouths; in the time it takes to talk they have analyzed what they said, come up with something else clever to add on to it, or strung together an entire sentence full of alliteration or puns.
It's far too rare to see that nowadays. When you compare it to a television show where the format is character line, laugh track, rebuttal, laugh track, you can see a clear difference: Rowe, like me, and I hope like many other fans, genuinely enjoys a quick back-and-forth, with ideas meshing together not only in substance but also in time. You can find plenty of writers who will put together a few one-liners scattered through their book, but Rowe does far more than that.
That is something that is a treat to read, and it is how clever, intelligent characters ought to be written. Bravo.
