Ratings and reviews

(Errors) Just me? **NOT A REVIEW OF THE CONTENT BUT THE QUALITY OF THE PRESENTATION** The book is fantastic so far. I'm a few chapters in, but this e-book is rife with spelling errors and weird mistakes. Mostly seems like "keming" maybe? Things like "Fl" turning into "H" and odd line spacings. I've only ever had issues like this with bootleg Epubs, certainly not something I paid for. Disgraceful. *Edit* It gets worse the more I read. There are entire paragraphs that are out of order. Requesting a refund.

fast, historically correct, plenty of action.

this book was grea;. A series will worth the read.
