This particular book was new to me actually. I read books from this series before, but didn't get as far as #11. I think I read the first six. I can see how my review can be confusing.
How do I rectify to make it clearer?

Simone post 2757, 2758

From posting requirements:
13. While it is OK to shift books between tasks during a challenge, this is the procedure required:
First, identify and "unclaim" any tasks involved in your book changes with a separate post for each task involved. Include the task number, the options used, and a link to each book originally claimed.
(Remember to copy a post, click "edit" at the bottom of the post, and copy from that screen to copy the html)

Next, do a new post, claiming any task involved in the changes. This must be a complete task posting, with all information required by the task, the options chosen, and the books claimed. No different from an original post.

Task 15.1 book 1 requires "a book written by a single author whose initials (all) can be found in TSUNDOKU."
From default rules
For tasks requiring all initials: letters marked by periods should be treated as separate names -J.K. Rowling would be JKR. George R.R. Martin would be GRRM.
T.J. Klune all initials are TJK. There is no J in TSUNDOKU
