I’m not a fan of having every detail of a world explained to in meticulous detail. At least not all at once. Let me wonder about certain things.
Tagging onto that, I love it when the author gets me curious about something and keeps me in suspense for awhile. In Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book, I loved how we could guess that some characters were part of a secret society of sorts, but it didn’t fully pay off until the end.
