A story about that "lacks technology" seems attractive and interesting read.

Moreover, From the review I can seem that is one in the fantasy genre.
It's a great little throwback to a simpler time, but the characters have some great adventures. Thanks for commenting.

The concepts weren't that difficult, but the editing was lacking. Thanks for commenting!

The example of description that you have given is perfect and makes me want to read this book. Characters who are well presented with an emotional connection with the readers sounds like a book I would read. Hopefully the errors are corrected. Thanks for the review!

The book has much merit. I would recommend it just for the action and character development. Thanks!

For a story like this, I can't look past the editing. It would be too distracting. Pity, because it sounds cool.

I understand. Hopefully the author will get that fixed, and you can take another look at it. Thanks for commenting.
