Yeah, there are typos and other editing issues. And, yes, the book starts with a torture scene.But after that, it's more a normal book.  The only thing is that you have to go along with the world he's created, where the rules for day/night, weather, magic, etc aren't the rules we have in our world.  So long as you go along with that, it's a fun read (although I thought the cat thing at the end was a very annoying deus ex machina).It's basically a story of a fish out of water, and I think does a good job showing what a person from our world might do if suddenly finding themselves in a completely foreign world, where things we take for granted don't exist, and other things we find variable are steadfast.
