Editing needed desperately!
This book would have been very much better with some editing. Paragraphs were repeated and there were many spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, for example, “boy” used instead of “bow”.
In addition, there is a jarring combination of “old” epic fantasy themes and settings, with modern day thoughts and ideas, and in some cases the language used just didn’t feel right.
I really wanted to love this book...I bought it with great anticipation especially as there were so many good reviews. Unfortunately I could only read it in stop-start mode, as it took me a few days each time to get over the irritating mistakes and the language vs theme incongruencies before I could take it up again. Perhaps it was only the kindle version which was so riddled with editing issues. *Sigh*
