" She was flying, skimming the ground with no track under her, not even a hoverboard, keeping herself aloft by sheer willpower and the wind in her outspread jacket. She skirted the edge of a massive cliff that overlooked a huge, black ocean. A flock of seabirds pursued her, their wild screams beating at her ears like Dr. Cable's razor edged voice."
The author actually doesn't use alot of figurative language in his writing. However this example is very effective because in the story, Doctor Cable is a very cruel looking person so when they described her voice it was described as sharp. This is a good simile comparing the seabirds and Dr. Cable's creepy voice. This really helps describe both things that are being compared. This actually can make the reader feel uncomfortable or creeped out by Doctor Cable. I feel like the way this simile was put in and the 2 things that were being compared fit perfectly in the story because through out there is an idea of these mean looking people and how they seem pretty but mean in EVERY aspect.
