FWIW, I'm working my way through the new Brandon Sanderson epic, The Way of Kings. It has several errors, albeit minor, in the first 300 pages, such as wrong word, dropped articles, and the like -- at least in the ebook version (I haven't checked it against the print version, which I also bought), but the biggest problem with the Sanderson ebook is the inability to read the illustrations, which are integral to the story. I wrote about this problem last week in The Problem Is: Publishers Don’t Read eBooks!
I keep reading Sanderson's book but can't decide if it is good, bad, or indifferent. Hopefully I'll know by the end  . |
Thanks for the purchase. I'm sure you will enjoy it. The Blood of Coldfrost was a 1500 word flash fiction project I did and it was edited by 4 other authors. It was written and uploaded cover and all in less that 12 hours. If it has flaws I can't find them. But then again if you read this thread you would know that my editing sucks and that my novels were professionally edited. You should be OK with
The Sword and the Dragon.
