I remember some years ago reading Livy up to book 3 or something and getting bored of the back and forth shit between plebs and patricians and jumping onto something else, even though I kinda enjoyed the first two, especially the first. Does it get better afterwards? Anyone read all of Livy? I'm soon gonna be done with Virgil and I wanted to jump back into some solid prose.

More words in a scene mimics the passage of more time. If you character is going to say or think something in an action scene, make it short. It's better to have motivations and emotions revealed through actions if you can do that in less words. That way you can show the action and share how the character is feeling at the same time.
