Rating: - uneven but readable
I started reading this series and found some of the imagery and concepts compelling. First the criticism. Some of the story is tedious, as some characters we follow lack any apparent point commensurate to all the time spent on them. There can be times when poor editing might distract from the story, lines like "...the echoes echoed..." and the like. I found a number of spelling errors too. Also, a major character is apparently killed off and the reader is informed after the fact, 'so and so is dead', which in ... Read More
