I couldn't put it down
This book was written so well. The story kept me wanting more. I look forward to reading more from this author.

An interesting enough story, and interesting enough prose, too, but it's absolutely riddled with errors, and I mean riddled. The first chapter alone features a 'gentile' woman, people who are 'accustom' to things, and unfortunates with terribly 'scrapped' knees. It's mainly homophones (or near homophones) to begin with—dour/dower, reigned/reined, waved/waived, scalding/scolding, wrung/rung—but it gets worse as the book progresses, and by the time you reach the last parts of the book (chapter 19 is the worst...) there are entire words missing and a fair few it's instead of its.
It's a shame, because the story, as I say, is interesting enough, and the prose itself is of a particularly enchanting style—almost fairytale, reminiscent of a mythological tale. The imagination is stunning, and there's plenty of twisty-turny embedded in the plot.
But oh, the spelling... unlike a previous reviewer I can't say it's drowned in the storytelling; for me, it swamped the storytelling with the sheer volume of mistakes and rendered the experience far less pleasurable than it should have been.

Oh MAN! What a great story! And no, I don't personally know the author. I downloaded this because it was free and it looked interesting. There are occasional little mistakes with English, such as interest that is "peaked" as opposed to "piqued", but these are drowned in the wonderful story-telling, riveting concept and masterful pacing of this must-read book. Clearly inspired by the story of Faust, this is nonetheless an original creation which I venture to suggest is superior to both Goethe's and Marlowe's work. Whether orthodox Christian theologians would find Neeley's premise tenable I doubt - but then, I don't care: the story is just too good. Do not miss this book!
