I don't know about Fosfor's work - I think I've seen his stuff, but I can't recall it offhand. But it's true that Griever's narratives, at least, tend to be rather brief and to the point.
But is that a bad thing? He doesn't draw things out as much as most authors, sure. There's a great deal of brevity and compression. It keeps things rolling, and it keeps it rolling fast.
True, in places the narrative is unclear, and the brief sections, combined with the jumping around in chronological time... it's not perfect. But I don't think it's bad.
'course, I'm biased - I appreciate this sort of style because I used to write for a radio station, and my own fiction tends to be short and to the point.
