Editing/formatting: In this book, the problem with the
margins has been fixed, and the text fills the pages much
better. Also, the page numbers are on the outer edges. I still
had some trouble with the lack of dialog tags, but it seemed
to be not as common. I found a few typos and other errors,
but nothing major. One of the minor annoyances was the
lack of consistency when he used certain word(s) such as
bullet-proof/bulletproof/bullet proof.
Again, his sentence structure and flow were superb! I can’t
say enough about how well Mr. Lukeman writes. He does
not try to impress his readers with his vocabulary, but makes
each sentence move the action with ease and efficiency. He
obviously is very intelligent, but doesn’t try to show off his
knowledge by making his audience feel like they need a
dictionary or thesaurus to understand what he’s saying.
Rating: 19/20.
Content: The Lance was much crisper than White Jade, and
more deliberate. Again, I had to marvel at how effortlessly
he sets up the scenes. His descriptions and details are
cinematic and the action is realistic. I felt the characters still
had their own personalities and were rock-solid. The history
of the ‘Lance’ was in keeping with my own research, and I
love the assumptions made to incorporate it into this
fictional account. My only problem with the way he wove
the legend into his novel is that I didn’t get to use it in one of
my own books! I had originally planned to use it in my
Chronicles of Time series. Great minds think alike, Alex.
