Review: a good story ruined by horrendously poor grammar and redoing.
Rating: 3 out of 5

What could have been a really good read is absolutely ruined by a complete lack of proper grammar and some of the worst editing I have ever seen.  This book reads like those poorly translated labels on the toys "made in China" sold at a Dollar Store.  It is impossible to maintain suspension of disbelief no matter how interesting the story or likable the characters if one must constantly be trying to make sense of incorrect verb tense and poorly constructed sentences.  I will be reading the third book also as my curiosity over the outcome overrides my disgust at the lackadaisical way this author presents her product but would ask Ms Holthaus to consider having someone with at least a passing familiarity with English grammar read it before publication.  Your readers deserve better.
