"When the Clock Strikes" and Other Works of Fiction

Writing style

Lee's style is frequently remarked upon for its use of rich poetic prose and striking imagery.[22] Critics describe her style as weird, lush, vibrant, exotic, erotic, rich, elegant, perverse, and darkly beautiful.[24][25] The technique she used is very descriptive and poetic to match the themes she used in her mythical stories.[26] She was praised for her ability to balance her weird style with the challenges of writing a faraway world,[27] but some critics counter that her style is not always easy on the reader; she sometimes leaves the reader with unanswered questions.[26]
