Has Terry Brooks finally conquered that amateurish aversion to using the word "said?"
Not that I'd read the guy anyway; it took me about three tries to get through Sword of Shannara as a young man, lord what a thicket of adverbs and adjectives and maybe a third of them necessary, and I haven't been back in any serious way. That, and how hardly anyone ever just said something. Usually they employed some other verb, or possibly even utilized it. With an adverb. Lots of those. It got annoying.
