Dear Naomi Novik,

[blamebrampton]

I am still hugely enjoying the Temeraire books, but please, for the love of tiny bunnies, hire an actual editor to proofread your novels! The typos! They burn!

(I was doing well at ignoring them until we reached the Nemean region, which is in Ancient Greece, not New South Wales. It was rightly the Nepean earlier. Betas are for fanfic, Naomi. I'm sure you've earned enough to pay for a good editor by now!)

Must dash, plot twist has just occurred and I only have time for another hundred pages before bed.

Much love,

Brammers

Oh, typos are incredibly distracting, particularly when you are immersed in a book - they just jump out and poke you in the eye...

Which reminds me of yesterday when I groaned at a typo in the major characters' surname in the book I was reading. It's not like the majority of the characters belong to that clan, and their surname is mentioned five times on each page. There is no way to get it right. It actually jolted me out of an interesting plot moment. Tiny bunnies are sad.

Is there a bolshedragon revolution yet?

No revolution yet. But reports of small reformations back in Britain ;-)
