Review: British dialects were inconsistent. Plotting is fabulous.

The attempted use of British slang by various characters was inconsistent and choppy and I think it detracted more from the story than it added. It was distracting because it didn't flow naturally from Tanis as though it was a language he grew up speaking. It could have been dropped and the story would actually have been much more easy to read.Despite finding the attempted accents annoying, I found the plot charming, original, and completely engrossing. It is rare that I find a tale so involving that I am able to overlook awkward dialog because I wish to find out what lies beneath. An excellent effort!
