Thesaurus abuse almost always seems to me to be covering up a lack of substance (see: Cat Valente, Benjanun Sriduangkaew) but in the case of the Goblin Emperor she had a perfectly good story, she just threw all this unnecessary glitter on the top.

She kinda didn't, though.

Eh, it was more than enough to entertain me. I'm not claiming it's the best thing ever.

I disagree on the grounds that I never noticed anything off about the language in The Goblin Emperor. The prose flowed naturally for me (in contrast with authors like Valente), which I take as an indication that Addison wasn't throwing glitter on her story, but instead using vocabulary suited to the story she was telling.
