So here's the thing. I'm a writer myself, and an editor, and I run a small bookshop focused on small press and self published titles. (The Scribbling Lion, if anyone is interested in that last.)

I'm fucking PICKY. I see a number of "problems" with this series on, as I said, a technical level. I'm ITCHING to offer my editing services. At a discount, even. But I won't.

Because it would be ARROGANT of me. And I love the point this series makes as it stands. The example it sets. We all, as writers, need to relax and get tf over ourselves. Focus on telling a ripping good story and realize that while technical perfection is ideal, the bar isn't quite as high as we believe. A great story, well told, allows wiggle room on points like "argh, no, use a comma at the end of that dialogue tag" and "no, that's not the right word, you used a homonym" and so on.

Would I stock it in my bookstore, if it came to print? No. Not as it stands. Not without an technical edit overhaul. But will I recommend reading it? Absolutely.

Read this series. Get back to me on your own thoughts. See if you get addicted too.
