As I mentioned in my [other recent question](https://writing.stackexchange.com/q/47353/10479), my novel in progress has three main locations. I feel those three settings are strong, fully imagined places, with interesting storylines. However, they aren't side by side, and this is a setting where travel takes time and effort. So I have two more locations that are basically transitional places between the other locations. The problem is that I'm not enthused about those locations. They're just places to pass through. Do I need to put more thought and effort into those liminal locations? Or can I just drop them? They feel necessary both geographically and psychologically. But I'm not (yet) finding the magic in them. They're meant to be a slog for the characters, but I don't want them to be one for the readers.
