Query: Lots of potential

Quietus is full of potential: potential story lines, potential characters, potential writing. But I could not help but be distracted by the lack of editing and proofreading. I felt like I was reading an early draft: it was full of poor grammar, outright mistakes (like 'alright' and 'illusive') and just plain bad writing. With help, Schilling could be a terrific author. I'm amazed that the book made it to press in this condition.
