Yes, there are grammatical errors throughout the book (an editor would take Kaye's writing from a 9 to a 10) and the sentence/plot structure could be improved, but that being said, this is an incredible feat of imagination and work for ANY indie writer. Getting past the faults, this book is a hidden gem. Kirin, the detective of our story, is a unique character that I swiftly grew to love and admire. His quick wit and intelligence was wonderfully conceived, and the world is vibrant and alive, filled with color, history, and depth. I could tell Kaye spent a great deal of love and time in developing it.Each tale is a self-contained nugget of adventure full of action, suspense, and drama. I would consider this a collection of short stories, or episodes, following Kirin in his line of work, and not a standard A-B-C plot novel. Overall, despite the glitches with her grammar and plotting, this story is a real rarity and shouldn't be missed.
