No current Talk conversations about this book.

I had already perceived sloppy wording from the first book in the series (and this considering that English is not my mother tongue), but this book ended up pissing me off:

* Name changes from the first book in the series (Lord Vincent or Lord Martin?)
* A huge number of typos,
* Anachronistic uses of words (malarkey is a word with origin in the 1920s).

In short, no editing work, to the point that I looked carefully at the credit of each of the three novels in the series up to this point, and indeed, this author seems unaware of what it means to submit his manuscripts to a professional editing job: that's clear in the worst way.

Added to that is frankly ridiculous time management; It would already seem rushed to me in a contemporary novel, let alone in a historical one. Another detriment of not working with editors and beta readers.

A pity because the three books have the bones of good stories, but this negligence is annoying and ruins any enjoyment for me. ( )
