There are two aspects to it, one the books, and second the author. Author isn't very likable, if you read some of his interviews you will understand. His opinion about himself, about fantasy, and general readers (and authors) of fantasy can be a bit annoying. As for the books, they sometimes have very stupid writing.
It has been a long time since I read the series, but one scene that I remember on top of my head, there was a woman (or group of them), who has to escape / pass through the whole army, so they go topless, cause then all the men in army will not be looking at their face and won't recognize them.
There were many other things like that.
First off, that scene isn't so they don't recognize their faces. It's to look like spirits and scare/shock them. They were a small army trying to use crazy tactics, I don't see what's so wrong about that. I've read it multiple times and I don't remember a point where they go topless implying no one would ever look at their face if they were topless.
As for the author, I don't know much about him, but I like the books. And way I think Michael Jackson is a bad person but I can still enjoy his music.
