Kerrick, you are absolutely correct! They did count...at times.
But then there would be this big gun battle where the typical bad guys couldn't hit shit in a narrow hallway, but yet anybody in the Cawdor group hardly ever missed! And had endless ammo a lot of times.
But yes, There was a couple of instances where Jak and Ryan were counted their bullets.
Just wasn't consistent. But hey, I am sure it ain't easy writing these books. I admire this author for at least bringing back stuff from actual extreme cold weather to even Krysty correcting Ryan's verbiage. (When was the last time THAT was done?) Even Ryan's scarf...albeit too late in the story. Should have been brought up automatically, and used to throttle a guard, instead of Doc's OBVIOUS cane.
I hope this particular author tries again, takes into account what we are saying, use it constructively, because I personally am not wanting to bash ANY writer here, and give us diehard fans an even tighter, better written DL adventure.
