Review: Confusing And Too Many Typos
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 02 6, 2013
While I understand the premise and idea for this story, the many different time lines, different realms and characters appearing here, there and everywhere just didn't gel with me.It was a good idea and I kinda got into it in the beginning, but the more I read, the more I would get distracted by something else because of all the confusing parallels I guess.I also cringe a bit when I read in acknowledgements that there was an editor.  While I don't know if this was a pro or not, I'd have to guess not because there were so many typos and mistakes, it just couldn't have been professionally done.  It's very difficult to keep with a story when mistakes and typos overrun a story.Professionally edited books average one or two typos.  That's it and that's human.  Many many mistakes throughout an entire book tells me "self edited" every time or edited by a friend.Yes, the book was free.  That was the good thing about it.I think this would have been a better book had it been thought out better.  Something like this, with the subject matter chosen like this writer did, has to be thought out to the very last detail.A small amount of independent writers make me want to continue on to the next book, but that is rare.  I wont be moving on with this one.
