Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston
3.0
I liked the book fine enough but there are so many typographical errors. It reads like it was copy-edited in a hurry. After I encountered the second error within the span of a few pages near the beginning of the book, I almost stopped reading, as my patience for poorly edited published material is thin.
Here are several: "kep" instead of "keep" (5), "guarden" instead of "garden" (18), "Jay" instead of "Jax," "her" instead of "his" (170), "tok" instead of "took" (196), and "head" instead of what I'm guessing is supposed to be "eyes" (429), in addition to stray quotation marks and missing commas. The simile of the palace to "a shard of black glass" is used twice within a few paragraphs of each other, as if it is a new revelation each time.
For the next edition or printing of the book I hope these get fixed.
