Re: Timeline starting from the bomb again...

The book I'm reading (well, read--finished it a couple hours ago)... It got even worse with the POVs. After the random Samm mid chapter it suddenly jumped to Ariel's POV who had been in all of like 4 chapters up until that point. Seriously?

I mean I get why he (the author) did it to show stuff going on where the main characters weren't at but it seemed so... wrong.

On top of that the 2nd half of the book was full of copy errors (repeated words, missing words, stuff that a good copy editor should have seen). They were popping up ever 10 pages or so, sometimes more often. It was crazy. I blame the editors for that. Very sloppy.

But the worst was this one part where the main character, Kira, is getting into some serious shit. At the end of one paragraph it says she reaches into her waistband and drew her gun. The end of the next paragraph is has her pulling her gun out. *headdesk*

Other than the POV thing (which is a personal preference more than anything) the book was well written. Until pretty much the last quarter of it. Then there were errors everywhere. I think I'm going to write a very strongly worded letter to the publishers. The errors ruined an otherwise really good book.
