I want to love these books and be able to give them a 4- or 5-star rating. They are so close to being fantastic - they have an interesting plot with engaging characters and enough mystery to keep readers enthralled. However they are in need of a strong editor who can catch some minor mistakes (character names switched in the middle of a scene) and plot aberrations. Some are minor (in the first book, Sip had 8 brothers, in the second 5) while others really impact the flow of the plot.I will continue to read the series as I enjoy the story itself, but hope the overall writing gets more cohesive! I would have given this book more stars if the editor knew how to do his job. Seriously. So many typos, and the overuse of the various synonyms for "smile" really got in the way of the story. I liked it enough to read the next one; I just really hope the writing doesn't take another step backwards. The first book was so well done that it'd be a shame if it is the only one that doesn't feel like it was rushed to be released.
Book two just as good as book one! I wish three was out now! loved this book!
