The main focus of the book is sex- with no rationality as to when. The characters could be running for their life and still find a way to stick it in. It makes absolutely no sense as to why the author thought that in the most CONFUSING times to add intense sex scenes. Someone could be bleeding out- they're fucking. Someone could be under the influence- they're fucking. Every dream? Involves sex. This is character based, but definitely not in the sense of their minds, but their bodies.
The real power struggle is the author trying to balance plot, character development, steamy scenes, emotional trauma, depth, you name it, they're trying to add it.
But it's like dumping every flavor of soda into your fountain drink only to realize you filled it to the brim with ice and left no room for the intended content.
