Great review, Grace, thank you. And my first on Smashwords. At last! Thank you for that as well. I was starting to wonder if I'd ever get a review there.
I particularly like reviews like yours that are balanced -- the good and the bad. Gives more credibility to the work, unlike reviews that gush about the amazingly incredible story (yawn). It's just a book. Nice job with the honest assessment. I super appreciate that.
Also, I was pleased that you noticed my transition scheme with the dreams. It's always a joy when a reader remarks on something we consciously work toward. Since first-person lacks the third-person ploy of switching to another character, leaving the last one hanging, the dreams serve to attain a measure of that without violating the more restrictive perspective.
I'm glad you enjoyed the story and I'm sure you will enjoy the rest of the series. Book 2 is available and 3 is close to done. Off to my editor at month's end and looks like a January release (fingers crossed).
Thanks again, I really like the review. I will post a link elsewhere (Facebook, etc.) and point others to your blog URL.
Best regards, William
