Yup, this annoys me too. Coupled with the run-on sentences - I think I'll pass on this one. I enjoyed your review, though!
Thank you so much! :tiphat:

I can hardly complete a book filled with errors. Also, I agree with your point that not every dialogue needs to be falsely decorated with wisdom, some are better left simple.

nice review about kingdom of thieves which gave idea of the book contents, the story could have been intimating but there could be problem with flow which is indicated by your scores
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

It's true. It can be intimidating. It's sad losing points on a good story for things that good have easily been avoided. Thanks for commenting.

Usually I enjoy fantasy, but sadly I might have to pass this one up. Typos really bother me, and I'm sure that I would have trouble concentrating on the story itself because of the writing quality. Hopefully the author will take your advice to heart and be more thorough with editing. Thank you for this excellent review.

I completely understand. Typos completely take away from the story. Thank you for commenting! :tiphat:
