Mortal Arts by Anna Lee Huber
2.0
Not a bad follow-up to the debut novel but there were a few faults that I couldn’t ignore. First, the culprit was easily deduced and the “mystery” was really not that much of a mystery as it turned out. Kiera started to get annoying to me with her constant negativity about herself where it was just irritating and parts where it made no sense with her character.
And lastly, can we please get Ms. Huber a better editor? I found SO MANY grammatical mistakes in this book that it was just embarrassing. This is not an independently published book so I have no idea why the editing is just so bad. Sentences such as “Gage and me” is not grammatically correct nor is expressions such as “no worries” customarily common phrases for 1830 English society. Really? Ms. Huber’s editor didn’t catch that? 🙄 The story is good but the poor editing is just plain distracting.
