i love ms marr's writing in the original WL series (and the two first irial/niall/leslie short stories) but taking a quick glance at the newer books, and seeing people's reviews, i kinda do wonder if the decline in quality is, in part, due to going indie.

#it's just a nitpick for now but thus far Winter Dream has weird two dashes that werent corrected to em dashes #Urian as a character seems fine as an idea (i can deal with Irial asking for his memories to be altered)#but apparently Cold Iron something felt more or less like a rehash of Wicked Lovely??#nearly half a dozen of anthologies but all of them keeps republishing the same short story and novella with only one or two new ones #the indie published books have a ''quality control'' page that just says ''if you find an error contact me so i can fix it''#which makes them a constant work in progress. that is published.#she said theyre ''professionally edited'' but it's kind of hard to believe #yes the typos are minimal safe for those weird double dashes. but editors dont just check for technical stuff do they?#am just saying the quality control page and the anthologies dont seem like things that would fly with mainstream publishing #the anthologies especially. it hurts me to say but it feels like blatant money grab
