This is an interesting book with a good story line and a universe that I would like to see explored more. There are definitely some good places in this novel (novella?) to jump off from to explore other aspects of this world that the author created.
However having said that, as with most indie books it desperately needs an editor.
There are a lot of misspellings, wrong words, bad punctuation and other problems going on .
A few examples:
The name of one of the characters is spelled in 2 different ways: DeMournay is used 10 times and DeMounay is used 5 times.
One of the characters is described as "vaguely bare shaped" where that obviously should be bear.
At the end of chapter 2 is this sentence: "The headless Lotharian ... banged its head and fell over". If it is headless how did it bang its head.
There are also multiple places where wondering and wandering are used in place of each other. Errors like that make me wonder if the book was written with a speech recognition software instead of typed in.
It is hard to place much trust in the author or the writing when encountering errors like this. It is also very difficult to stay immersed in the story when constantly tripping over these things and having to go back to take a second look at them.
