A Quest of Heroes

A Quest of Heroes
Book # 1 in the Sorcerer's Ring
by Morgan Rice

I begin to feel I sound like a broken record. In this age of e-Books
doesn't anyone edit their text? This author has apparently written at
least 22 books, surely by now she could afford an editor. This is a
decent fantasy novel marred by awkward constructions, missing or doubled
words, and homonym errors as in flower/flour. In this electronic age we
have become lulled into accepting text errors in newspapers and other
print media but when one starts encountering them at the rate of one per
page in a book it detracts from the reading experience. In spite of this
caveat this is an engaging read. I have book two queued up and ready to
read. One can only hope it is an improvement. A ten-book series seems
quite a challenge. Whether or not I read beyond book two is dependent on
the quality of the editing in that book.
