When you write a story sometimes it is better to just stick with the easier to read words instead of using a thesaurus.  While words might mean similar things they do not always change out for each other; ie. debilitated while meaning broken the word should have been delapitated.  Light is not gilded..gilded is painted gold, not a synonym for gold.Use of modern "text" abbreviations are horrid to read, WTF and OMG should be left ... well I'd say on the cell phone but I disliike them there as well.I gave this book one more star than the first because  at least was not annoyed at the romantic plot of these two characters; it did not detract from the main storyline and we did not have an unnecissary sex scene. I was able to get around the authors ignorance in fae lore... as elves are part of the fae mythos... not just a seperate race like Tolkien gave them life to be... then again Tolkien did not use the fae mythos and the elves both in his tales.I think that if this author fleshed out this story more instead of leaving them as short stories the would make an excellent tale to read. Then see a real editor instead of doing it themselves then these would have a fair chance at straight to mass market paperbacks.  Much work is badly needed though.
