I finished all 13 books and it was the most painful reading experience I’ve ever had. The story line was enjoyable. The characters were likable. The grammatical errors, misspelling, repeat sentences, and the seeming lack of any proof reading made the books extremely tiresome, confusing, and frustrating. I’ve never had these problems with any other DK Holmberg books. Whoever was responsible for this needs to seriously consider having them proofread before hitting the submit button. Having endured the pain of reading through 13 books, all with the same problems, I have to say that I probably would not buy any more from the author and I’m having a hard time recommending them to anyone who I know. Hopefully the author has the intelligence not to allow the same problems to occur in future publications.
The poor editing was greatly improved, which made the final book a lot more enjoyable to read. The final installment of this series got less winded. The story flowed nicely.
The one thing I would have liked to have in this story, that I believe was greatly missing, was a romantic twist. The authors could have cut down in the recaps, which are completely unnecessary and would have cut nearly a quarter of each book, and given the 2 main characters some quiet, personal time together. I kept looking for Rob and Serena to finally acknowledge their love for one another, but they never do. It's just left was an understood part of the story.
I would love to give the series 10 stars, but the typos are so horrible. I don’t know why the authors don’t go back and check it. Some things are just crazy, like when he went to the valley to see his father and saw how he progressed and then in the next scene, he was wondering if his father progressed. What? Please, guys, go back and re-edit this. It got better and better as the books went on, and I was really interested in finding out how it would end. It was a great ending, but as I said, please, go back and edit! Then I’ll change my rating to 10 stars.
Congratulations to D.K. Holmberg and Dan Michaelson for this amazing series. Ibt’s extremely hard to find such interesting and exciting authors who not only write intelligently but also provide top rated plots, characters and excitement in the stories. I’m really looking forward to the next series!
The whole series has been interesting. This author has a great imagination but the experience could have been so much better if the editing had been done properly.
