Good plot, poor writing.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lord of Darkness and Shadow (Chronicles of the Shadow) (Bk. 1) (Paperback)
While a plot-intensive story, the writing, itself, leaves a lot to be desired. Frequent misspellings, grammatical and punctual errors, incorrect usage of terms, as well as abrupt changes of the reader's point-of-view make for an arduous read. As enjoyable as the plot is, I think Mr. Reid should contact his editors for both reimbursement of past funds, and to inform them they will not be working on future projects. The quality of the text in this book is roughly equivalent to a non-edited, non-proofread fanfiction, and I feel a bit short-changed for having spent money on this. I can only hope that Mr. Reid improves the quality of his books in future.
