And since it's traditionally published, it makes me feel very sad about the state of editing in the publishing industry.Rebecca M.

I definitely mark down the rating for that. If it's written well enough I might get through a series. I read one where the author used "then" when she meant "than" over the course of at least 5 books. Every review started with a lament and grammar/vocabulary lesson.<br />~XyraXyra Silverleafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12842466753806936933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52364159500107393.post-44260412929269174872017-08-31T09:37:31.212-07:002017-08-31T09:37:31.212-07:00Thank you for the review.

Happily, that doesn't change the fact that it was an entertaining story.Rebecca M.

I can't imagine trying to rewrite the Princelings starting from book 4, for example. Well, I suppose that's a project for my old age ;)Jemima Petthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110647375899927233noreply@blogger.com
