While usually I wouldn’t comment on editing, these were things that as a reader, I couldn’t help but notice because it impacted my enjoyment of the story.When lonely and socially isolated translator, Gareth, takes up traditional Japanese archery in 1990s Bristol, he learns that to study Kyudo is to reach out, to another culture, another time, other people… But when one of them reaches back, two lives that should never have touched become strangely entangled. But I truly believe it would go even further with some basic editing and cleaning up. While I do think that some work needs to be done, I can see this author going quite far with this with people who don’t notice the things that I’ve stated.

I believe that I would have thoroughly enjoyed this if even the smallest amount of editing was done, but unfortunately it comes off as more of a first draft.

Quite often the dialogue was stilted as well. Characters repeated things or stated things that the reader has already read without the character stating it.

And while some of this can be overlooked, I can tell that this wasn’t edited. The timelines of story events didn’t really line up. The only reason I could tell was in speech were another character would go “XYZ changed from when I first met her”. The characters were flat and one dimensional but I can tell that the author wanted them to be well rounded. Unfortunately as much as I loved the idea, the execution didn’t quite reel me in. The author is imaginative in her story background and I loved that.

I have such a hard time finding paranormal romance with Black characters that the I just knew this was going to hit the spot. I absolutely absolutely loved the idea behind Bayou: King of The Seas.
