Query: Disappointed fan

I'm more than 3/4 of the way through reading this book and all I can say is that I'm one very disappointed fan. I usually try and read every one of Mercedes Lackey's books but even I can't excuse the lazy, sloppy writing that's steadily creeping into her work. I love the basic idea and the main characters, but this is a perfect example of an author who seriously needs to start editing her work or paying someone to do it for her.There are entire pages of truly boring exposition where the characters (usu. Reggie) reminisce about people the reader will never meet and therefore won't ever care about. Stuff any good editor would've suggested be removed or shortened.Lackey repeats herself constantly especially about how no one ever notices Ellie walking past them. I think I got the point the first three or four times.And don't get me started on the the typos and missing punctation.A great idea, but an unpolished novel that I won't ever want to read again.
