I wish I could recommend this book about the Countess

So while I can't get enough of The Countess, I have to say that Charlie Courtland's THE HIDDEN WILL OF THE DRAGON, 2nd

in her series about The Countess (see my previous post on DANDELIONS IN THE GARDEN) is not one that I enjoyed reading.  Yes, I'm still fascinated by the story of the Countess, her legend, and the speculations about her legends about what is real and what isn't.  From that perspective, I wanted to read every word of THE HIDDEN WILL.  

But the story here just is not well written.  I'm sorry Charlie.  I don't know what happened or where your editor went, but he/she was NO help to you.  The grammatical errors stood out like sore thumbs and took away my enjoyment of reading such a fascinating story.  I tried very hard, Charlie, not to pay attention to the grammatical/spelling/punctuation errors, but some of them were so simplistic that even a 4th grader would know better.  For example there were several incorrect uses of the word "too" when "to" was meant.  

With a little more editing and clean-up in that respect, THE HIDDEN WILL OF THE DRAGON would be well worth the read and I would recommend it with high stars.  As I say, I am absolutely fascinated, morbidly so, with the Countess, so regardless of grammatical/spelling/punctuation errors, I am going to continue reading any and everything about her that I can get my hands on.

There's no reason why you can't make those corrections, Charlie Courtland, and put your book in the class of literature [about the Countess] not to be missed.  (Please, please, please don't be offended by my comments!!!)
