The Dragon's Gap Series: Books 1-3 by L.M. Lacee

Reads like a work-in-progress

The story being told is interesting. The characters show growth from one book to the next. The cover art accurately reflects the story inside. However, the mechanical errors (missed or incorrect punctuation, missing words, incorrect word choices) lead me to believe the author used word processing software and relied on that rather than proper editing and proofreading. 

I noted each problem in my e-reader. By the end of this three book omnibus, I had marked over 250 problems.  That does not take into account the numerous (to my mind, egregious) errors in punctuation. Every page is rife with missing punctuation creating run-on sentences,  That being the case, it is my opinion that this is still a work-in-progress and should be removed from online booksellers until such time as the above problems have been addressed. 

Had the author obtained proper editing for this book, I would have gladly given it at least three stars. I cannot in good conscience recommend that anyone spend money to purchase this set until the numerous errors have been addressed. I will not be spending money on the next omnibus in this series until Amazon notifies me there is an update for this set.

I am giving this book only 1 star.
