The story itself is super enjoyable. It's like reading a D&D campaign instead of watching or being part of one which is super fun. However, whoever edited this book missed a jarring number of errors that continuously pulled me out of the book. There were multiple instances of words missing, words being in the incorrect order, names being spelled two different ways (within the same paragraph while talking about the exact same person), and using an incorrect name immediately after saying that wasn't the character they were talking about. It was a problem throughout the entire book and it definitely hurt my ability to stay immersed.
