Good story, bad editor, bad publisher!
This reads as an early semi-edited draft. Bad pronouns, confusing who is speaking in dialogue, wrong word choices (Iniquity used when inequity is intended, saddled when siddled is desired the list is huge.) continuity issues are few but a better editor would have caught them with rewrites.
Aside from getting a book that is under cooked, there are other significant issues with the story that keep it from any level of greatness. The archetypes, tropes, and memes are simplistic at best. Tertiary characters are nameless cardboard cutouts. It is a crime for a writer with such talent to be allowed to be so lazy. A better publisher, with a skilled editor could whip this into a gem. As it stands it would do poorly in a high school creative writing class
An absolute shame and travesty, if a available at a low price point there is some entertainment value in the many words that this box set represents.
