Interesting idea, but needs some polishing

I started reading this book because I like reading about shapeshifters, and that part of the book didn't disappoint.

However, the writing itself was very poor. There were lots of run-on sentences, frequent grammar and spelling mistakes, and a lot of the phrasing felt very stream of consciousness. Basically, it could have used a thorough editing, just to get the typos and grammar issues out. There were also some details that really didn't add anything to the story.

Overall, the story part is there. It just needs quite a bit of polishing. This won't, however, keep me from reading the sequel.
