I totally agree with the bad editing.The strong heroine carried the whole book for me. I see her, I feel her emotions, and I understand her actions. She is as alive a character for me and I was rooting for her victory from page one. What a great character. It make sense that the rest of the character are as alive for me and that they are an interesting group of people to watch.Unfortunately, the hero and the plotting of the book just ruined the reading experience for me.To add my 2 cents...when a character is supposed to be a beta (second most strongest of the group) and you keep watching him being mauled by a weak female of the group's hierarchy - REPEATEDLY - and just standing there and doing nothing - JUST TO MOVE THE PLOT - is a total bull for me. Add that to the whole cast of character picking apart the mauler's actions and psychology and lecturing the readers in order to convince said reader of the writer's mind/reasoning just screams manipulation for me.Weak hero ruined the chemistry with the strong heroine - for me.
