Great story line but...

Overall this series has a good story line and Im enjoying it.
There are a great many grammer and sentence errors that somewhat impact the ability to understand the authors meaning.
Overall, I really like this authors style and Im sure the sentence structure and grammer will come with experience, or a better proofreader😏.
Id still recommend this series.

A really good book

This series is one of the better one that I've read. It doesn't depend on porn to fill pages. Refreshing!

It does, however, have alot of typos. Wrong words used, or just left out of a sentence.

I love the story line. It keeps me intrigued and reading, in spite of all the grammatical errors. It's pretty clear that very little editing was done, if any. Words left out, incomplete sentences, dropped thoughts, errors in names as part of a conversation, redundancy, and Rob never seems to learn anything. He supposedly learns enough to advance but the questions he asks himself and others are the same questions as when he started his journey. He needs to grow with his understanding at least a little and his thought processes don't seem to match his level of progress. Nevertheless, the story has me hooked and I will continue to follow the series.

Rob continues his learning how to us his ice essence from Ashmond. After Rob heals some ogres, they lead him, Ashmond and Yoral into the Desrit Mountains searching for a way to find and rescue the arctic cat’s Nelah and to stop the Ice King and the Spread. He learns enough to advance to Dragon Mind.

Footnote: 1) Some of the edit errors: Chap 2: ‘a blanket of heavy snow covered vast…’ (no punctuation needed). Chap 13: ‘And your essence better counters what they can do better than mine’ (doubled word).

Fave scenes: Rob riding Yoral, the essence map, questioning the captive girl and Serina & the Spread.

Epic adventure

Maggie and Rob had to grow in order to survive, but will it be enough? They face a powerful enemy, an enemy to all people. Great series, but there are a lot of grammar errors unlike other D.K.Holmberg books. This is definitely not interfering with how good this is.

Awesome series!!!!

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 book!

Finally, something to look forward to, still Book 5 and whatever Rob's essence or ability, it is still a mystery, actually a lot of his ability is a mystery, even how he uses his essence.

At least, there is a story....and the "world-building" is slowly but surely shaping up...

Interesting step forward in the story. Loved the furry and fierce Arctic Cats.

The proofing was poor and occasional words are wrong or missing, but overlook that and this was my favourite book of the series so far.

[Olly Root · Rating 2 out of 5]

SO many typos and grammar issues, so many confusing sentences and repeated text... did this book go through an editing process at all? I want to love it, the characters are interesting and the world has so much potential, but it honestly reads like it was written by AI sometimes.

Grammar issues

This series has a good story but as with the other books it appears that no one proofed the grammar.

[Nancy Seabourn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Better

The story continues to progress but still in suspense. Can't be sure about the ending, too many side tracks. Press on!

[CindiB · Rating 3 out of 5]

Same as before...

This series would be SO much better if not for the amount of typographical errors impeding the leisurely pace of reading....

great writers

I am hooked
as long as they keep writing this series, I will read.
My compliments to the authors and many thanks

[Sidonee Bates · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good series fast paced and entertaining.
However you need to get a new proof reader as the amount of missing words, wrong words, half words and grammatical errors is shocking for a published book.

Love the story. Keeps me slogging through poor writing.

[Stephanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good story line!

This is a good story line and holds my attention. The only thing that keeps me from giving a five star rating is that it could be better edited.
