A Dance of Cloaks

I thought this book was OK but not great. I almost stopped reading during the prolog when I encountered terrible grammar. I experienced some buyer's remorse. but it was a sword and laser pick so I plowed on. it got somewhat better, grammatically. the story left me shaking my head. the idea that Then Fellhorn is a super guild master, feared by all, which is emphasized over and over (enough already, we get it), isn't consistent with the number of times he screws up. I was left with the impression that the screw-ups were simply required for the plot and so had to be. but I just could not reconcile that with the fearsome reputation he was supposed to have not just for ruthlessness but for competent ruthlessness. there is more that doesn't add up for me in the book but that seemed the most glaring to me. I don't think I'll be reading the rest of the series.
