I am extremely disappointed and underwhelmed by Kulti, and that makes me sad because it was recommended by several friends whose opinions I trust. I hate that out of everyone in the group, I just didn't love Kulti the way the others did. I feel like I missed something that they all saw that I didn't. At the same time, I don't feel this is my fault as a reader as I was distracted from the story by the very poor editing, both of the story and in proofreading. In the acknowledgements, the author states the formatter took the job at the last minute, and it showed, with at least two major formatting issues (entire chapters that were horrible to read) and several small ones. Books can't be rushed. I have no doubt that if more time had been given to Kulti, it could have been more polished in all aspects. More thoughts to follow.
