I found their Rodney-voice was totally off, so you're not on your own. He seems very forced in their offerings.
In Chosen I kind of let it go, because it was their first novel, and they kind of redeemed him in the end. But oh, dear GOD, Exogenesis? He cried. It was like someone asked them to think of the most out of character thing for Rodney to do, and they said -- let him weep.
Some of their characterizations in scenes are really OOC too.
Yes. Straight-out-of-badfic OOC.
I also don't find their writing totally seamless either. In places it is blatantly obvious the one bit was written by one and the next by the other.

Yes. I think the plot suffers for it, too.
