Essay & Composition Writing
Each/both?
Dear Forum Users,
Could anyone please tell me if this passage is grammatical or not:
As the discussion in Chapter 2 suggests, to provide a definition of irony is a challenging enterprise. Therefore, rather than making yet another attempt at defining it, this chapter offers a complementary approach that explains particular examples - ones which have already been referred to as metaphor in the literature. The 2 models that constitute that complementary explanation are Conceptual Metaphor Theory (…) and Blending Theory (…). Let us consider both of them in turn.
Especially the underlined part. Should I write 'Let us consider each of them in turn'?
Thank you!

It is too wordy. As the discussion in Chapter 2 suggests, providing a definition of irony is difficult. Instead, this chapter explains two specific models which have already been referred to as metaphor in the literature: the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (…) and the Blending Theory (…).
