Battle Earth IV

I can sense a long series and what bums me out is each book gets worse worse.

1. I'm willing to forgive the (British IIRC) author not being able to write American english slang well, but the american characters don't read at all like Americans.
2. The editing is atrocious. I forgave the first book, and mostly the second, but now by the forth, I think it too is getting worse. Sentences with misplaced or wrong words. Words that must have been dropped in by autocorrection and not caught, etc. It makes it hard to read when you're editing on the fly.
3. the character development is taking giant leaps backwards. Major Taylor grows and gets more awesome, as do a few others in the first two books. In the Third he starts to devolve to a one dimensional character. By the forth he's not just a one dimensional character, he's bipolar. He goes from being down on war to pro war in the span of 3 paragraphs, and back again. Then he goes from sympathetic towards another character to opening disliking the character.

Lots and lots could be improved in this book, except the overall story. That is actually good and engaging, despite the obvious “tune in next time ending” that is getting common after book 2. If only the rest of the book could live up to the story
