The Goblin Emperor: typos?

[truepenny]

I have the proofs for the mass market paperback of The Goblin Emperor. If you have noticed any typos in the hardback, now would be an absolutely SPLENDID time to let me know about them, since I need to turn my corrections in by December 2nd.

Blessings upon all your heads.

Too busy loving it to spot any typos!

I just finished rereading it yesterday and didn't notice any - but as the commenter above said, I was loving it too much for typos to register!

I also don't recall any and thoroughly enjoyed the book. There certainly weren't any that stood out as problems. Oh, but I read the e-book so I guess that might be different. Excellent read, anyway.

I have the ebook, so no page numbers, but an unnecessary-seeming comma after "save" in "in part because Setheris never spoke of her save, when in a particularly good humor"

I should be able to finish the reread before your deadline... I'll post anything else I see.

[libskrat]

Wait, nope, strange line break made it read weird -- comma is fine, never mind.

[libskrat]

Okay, think I got a real one this time. From the glossary: "Barizhin: the languague of Barizhan"

[libskrat]

Chapter 5: "He recognized some of the names, from gossip Setheris has shared"

Pretty sure that should be "had shared."

[libskrat]

May well have been intentional (I forget half the rules about en dashes) and is certainly minor, but Chapter 15: "As the then–Duke Tethimel was a great favorite of Edrevechelar the Sixteenth," is using an en dash rather than a hyphen in "then-Duke."

[libskrat]

Possibly also intentional, seemed worth looking at: Chapter 18 "He knew he was a laughing stock" Two words or one?

[libskrat]

Chapter 23: "He stood straighter, look Chavar squarely in the face."

Should be "looked".

[libskrat]

Nitpicky, but Chapter 24: "His nohecharei, of one tactful accord, stepped away and began a low voiced conversation about schedules."

"low-voiced" should be hyphenated.

[libskrat]

(And not a typo report, but just to say that Csethiro Ceredin's letter to Maia in this chapter is the best thing ever in the history of things. I love it so much.)

[libskrat]

Chapter 30: "The dark faces did not belong only the Great Avar and his retinue."

Missing "to" in there somewhere.

[libskrat]

Chapter 34: "Most of the furnishing were going straight to an auction house in Cetho"

Needs plural "furnishings" or singular "was."

[libskrat]

Chapter 34: "Csevet, in his usual position in the corner, grimaced, but Maia has spoken no more than the truth"

Should be "had spoken".

[libskrat]

Chapter 34: “Oh?” said Maia, nothing the use of Celehar’s given name,

"Noting" not "nothing".

[libskrat]

Okay, found nothing else in the Glossary, so calling that a wrap!

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[libskrat]

You're welcome!

Chapter 31, p. 393 of the hardcover, discussing Prince Orchenis as a guardian for Tethimar's unmarried sisters, it says that the Prince is their uncle by marriage. But he's their brother-in-law, isn't he? Their oldest sister is married to him.

(I've been rereading the book the past few days. Enjoying it just as much as I did the first time through, perhaps even more.)

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

Good catch. (OMG how embarrassing.) Thank you!

[otterb.livejournal.com]

So many people related to so many other people in sometimes-complicated ways, not hard to see how it slipped by.

BTW, I left the book sitting out after I finished rereading it, and it has sucked in my husband, who is now about a third of the way through and occasionally pausing to read me tidbits.

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's awesome. Thanks for telling me!

Page 346 of the Kindle edition (loc 6057, if that makes a difference):

Maia was reminded of Csethiro Ceredin being forced into "friendship" with Csoru, and he was glad that Idra said firmly, "Thou'rt not obliged to be friends with anyone thou likest not, Ino." But why did she say that about goblins. It's not true."

There's an extra set of quotation marks in there.

Thank you!
