Review: Good Story, Sloppy Editing.

Again, Eidem has written an entertaining story that I enjoyed reading, except when I had to stop and try to figure out what she was trying to say. I enjoyed this book and can recommend it, if you are willing to fill in the blanks. It has much better editing than "Cassandra's Challenge", which was almost unreadable because of horrible editing. With proper editing, I'd have given this book 4 stars.There are still a ton of basic editing mistakes in this book, which will turn away many potential readers. There are left-over words from previous versions of sentences. Articles, verbs and even nouns are missing from sentences, but which are included in the next sentence, so I must conclude that Eidem is not underlining a basic difference between proper English and proper Carinian usage. These mistakes are on almost every page.Whoever is editing the books should be fired. Fire them now, because the editor is killing the flow and mood of the stories as well as killing the patience of the readers. I hate to review the editing, rather than the book; however, poor editing is overwhelming the good story. If the next book has the same errors, I won't be buying another one by this author.
