This book was the third in a trilogy. The stories contained many charming and delightful characters from a wide variety of fantasy realms, and the villains were unique and interesting as well. The plots were captivating and always held my interest. Now for the bad news...this book was full of the most annoying grammar and editing issues that pulled me out of the story so many times that I wanted to hurl my Kindle against a wall. I'm going to reveal them all in the hope that author Lisa Barry will see them and get a new editor. Also, the same types of grammar problems kept repeating. For instance, the possessive form of a noun was used in place of the proper plural form, i.e. using "siren's" when "sirens" was correct. There was one particularly egregious oversight that violated her own storyline, calling a stepfather a father-in-law. Who does that in their own story? And how does that huge error escape an editor?
In addition, there were many instances where I couldn't follow her writing, there was something odd about her sentence structure such that I didn't understand where she was going with it.
I liked her stories, but I won't be reading anything more of hers for a long time, this book was pretty aggravating.
