#399 ~ The Prophesy - Bakkian Chronicles

The Prophecy by Jeffrey M. Poole

My rating: 4 of 5 stars




Book #1 of the Bakkian Chronicles



I'm going to brief with this Review, which was one of my DSOA picks from March 2013.

The starting book for a series I believe, and a fairly good read. I enjoyed it, and will be looking forward to finding out how the series develops. I definitely feel that there is mileage in the plot. The writing at times was a bit lack lustre though.

That having been said, it was not so bad that it lost any stars from the rating, therefore a healthy 4 stars from me.

It was littered with some errors and bug bears, and you can see the details of them on my Blog - Post #399 in November 2013.

Bug Bears/Errors:

Right at the start there was a recurring bug bear, the use of sir Steve, which drove me mad.  The Author used Lady Sarah, so why not Sir Steve?

Pileup a few times was another bug bear, when it should really be pile-up.

Loc 84: anymore.

Correct to:  any more.

Loc 844: ...love-of-his-life wife start laughing at him.

Correct to:  ...love-of-his-life wife started laughing at him.

Loc 1892:  He watched as the stupid male open their pack, ....

Correct to:  He watched as one of stupid males' opened their pack, ....

Loc 2336:  This feeling of doing this wrong.  I think I know what I where I messed up.

Correct to:  This feeling of doing this wrong.  I think I know what I where I messed up.

Loc 2461:  'pursuit' twice in one sentence.

Loc 2771:  The castle has finally quieted down.

Correct to:  The castle has finally quietened down.

Loc 5975:  'Nighttime' should be Night time.

Loc 6658: ... for quite a ways.

Correct to:  ... for quite a way.

Loc 7599:  Steve watched as the exorbitant amount of jhorun he had just expelled rain down from the ceiling above...

I strongly feel that this should be corrected to:   Steve watched as the exorbitant amount of jhorun he had just expelled rained down from the ceiling above...

Happy reading.
