There were a lot of grammatical / spelling mistakes...a lot.Fortunately, the story was OUTSTANDING!!!  I am constantly amazed at the inventiveness of authors, and Mr Freer does not disappoint.Be advised, there is a good deal of backstory at the beginning.  He covers the genesis of a human diaspora, the creation of the first Stardogs, AND the foundational backstory for several of the main characters before the real story begins.  There are also several caricature stereotypes between the evil emperor and his security chief and the League upper echelon.  I did struggle a bit with some of the early chapters, but the tangled plotting was amusing and I enjoyed how the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was remade into a secret shadowy revolutionary force....and then there were sample chapters of another of his novels...I am going to go broke at this rate.  Even with mistakes I truly enjoyed Stardogs.
