Ratings and reviews

The book itself is fantastic! But the digital version is so full of typos it is embarrassing and distracting. Please fix this and give this wonderful book the proper digital copy it deserves

I've read this series before and enjoyed it thoroughly. However while reading this version I noticed some very important chapters are missing. BUYER BEWARE.

I love the story but unfortunately the experience of reading the ebook is marred by the many, many typos. Not a high quality ebook by any means.
