2.0
I had high hopes for this book. The concept was amazing: a bunch of authors coming together to cowrite an interconnected novel, comprised of short stories that all tie together. Unfortunately, the execution leaves something to desired.
The editing is non-existent. There are common spelling errors, paragraphs that run together, missing quotation marks, etc. Looks very sloppy, from the very first page.
The formating of the e-book is wildly inconsistent. The margins, spacing, and indenting change at each chapter, and range from no indents with spaces between paragraphs to indentations big enough to go almost all the way across the screen of my paperwhite.
Lastly, the stories. The writing is mediocre at best. Some of the sentences literally made me cringe for how horrible they were. I found myself skipping ahead and became so bored I had to put this down a few times. The most interesting character had by far the shortest storyline. I could not bring myself to care about any of the so-called main characters.
