Now, what to do to celebrate when the number hits the big one-zero-zero??

Here's a conundrum - recent review of CoB: "This book needs to be more carefully edited. There are missing words and grammatical mistakes throughout. (The author consistently uses the pronoun "he" as the object of a preposition instead of "him.")"


Now, I'm pretty sure that the "he"s and "him"s are where they should be, and I'm wondering if... perhaps... this person is not aware that pronoun agreements in comparative sentences are different. e.g. "...though she did not quite have the same discipline as he," is grammatically correct, while "...though she did not quite have the same discipline as him," is incorrect.

What do you think? Did you find any examples of strange pronouns in the first book (and should I therefore climb down from my soaringly high horse)? Should I comment on their review?

Thanks to everyone who has put themselves forward to be a beta reader - I'm still receiving offers of help!
Because so many of you have so kindly offered your services, I'm thinking of dividing you up into groups to do a first-read of some other books I have planned for the series... These books would be:

THE PREQUEL!!
and
AN ALTERNATIVE REALITY!!

More exclamation marks!!!

The prequel would cover the period from Artemi's first encounter with Hedinar Kantari, right through to the fall of Old Gialdin.

The alternative reality is pretty much what it sounds like, will be set in the Darkworld as the others have been, and will of course feature A & M's relationship as a central theme. Don't want to give too much away about that one though!

Those of you who have already emailed me directly, I will keep you down for Vol 6. Everyone else, would you like to beta-read these books? If so, please get in touch via email: hadleigh.o.charles@gmail.com and let me know which format you would prefer.

Hello to the new readers out there, and welcome to my blog! Hope you're enjoying my book(s) and that you find some items of interest here. If you want to say hi, please feel free to do so. I work from home a fair bit so appreciate the company!

Also, if you haven't already done so, please consider leaving a review or rating on the site from whence my books came (or on Goodreads) - reviews really help other readers.... but mostly they help ME >:D
