Sunlit Man Typo Thread

Quote

He assumed they stayed low earlier because they hadn’t wanted to risk rising too high into the sunlight.

Should this be "assumed they had stayed low earlier", since the rest of the sentence is in that tense?

A multitude of burning red lights .

There's an extra space before the period. 

[Tagged this next one in case someone pops in here before they finish reading the book. Pretty major spoiler in this next report, be careful!]

Nomad smiled and gestured for Jeffrey Jeffrey to make his way into the cab of the Dawnchaser, which the man did, limping. Zellion prepared himself for the next fight, raising his fists, ready to go hand to hand.

Stray use of Nomad in a section where he's been all Zellion in his internal monologue before. Could be intentional, but it was the only one I spotted in that stretch, so I decided to report it just in case it was missed.

Not exactly a typo, but something that I immediately noticed "this looks wrong:" in the illustrations list right before the Table of Contents, there's an entry called The Cinder King, presumably dealing with a character with the same title.

Is Dragonsteel aware that they're kinda stepping on Critical Role's toes with that?  The Cinder King was the title of the red dragon Thordak, one of the most memorable bosses in the show's history.

I mean, it isn't like the title is trademarked at all. They can totally use the title for a different character. I also can totally see how it would rise independent of CR due to how much the title fits with the character and motifs.

Theres only so many ways to say "Person with fire, who is a ruler"

Chapter 3: "You make, he thought at himself, a terrible cynic.", confused me for a hot second, "he" shouldn't be italicized.

Chapter 12: "What do you think of those? the studiously serious knight asks, somewhat confusedly.", missing capitalization on "the". I see multiple occurrences and it seems like it might be intentional.

Yeah, early on Nomad mentions that Aux verbalizes emotions that are lost because of his monotone lack of inflection. This seems that because they are doing those communications by italization rather than with quotes - and Aux is verbalizing the entire italicized portion. . .

This was part of what I came to mention as well.

Ch 10:

You thought you could find them, tease them out, write them down, and catalogue the world.

Might not matter, but catalogue is the British spelling for catalog. Not sure this one word uses the "Ye Olde Shoppe" trope.

eBook (epub) - Ch 43

Not a spelling mistake perse, but the chapter header is using the Ch 42.png. The ToC Correctly shows Ch 41, Ch 42, Ch 43 - but the image at the start of the chapter Shows Ch 42 instead of Ch 43. I'll check the kepub as well to see if the same issue is both files - but I can't really check the Kindle azw - since to view it I would have to convert it, which makes checking for errors unreliable as anything I "found" could have been an artifact of the conversion. 

I'll also note that the images for the epub had the same problems I mentioned in the previous Secret Projects (at least for my device - Kobo Forma). Same remedy still fixed it:

    <figure class="ch">

     <img class="land" src="../Images/name.png" alt="Title" style="width:99%;"/>

    </figure>

Using "land" as the class for landscape oriented images and "port" for portrait oriented images. CSS (changes and additions):

Spoiler

figure.ch {
  display: inline-block;
  text-indent: 0;
  width: 99%;
}
img.land {
  display: block;
  text-align: center;
  height: auto;
  max-width: 100%;
  width: auto;
  margin-top: auto;
  margin-bottom: auto;
}
img.port {
  display: block;
  text-align: center;
  height: auto;
  max-height: 100%;
  width: auto;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
}

Not a typo, but a suggestion for editing, because this sentence really confused me.

Chapter 48

Spoiler

She shot Rebeke, held captive by a nearby Charred, a grin.

 

Took me a while to parse this correctly, and those first 3 words gave me a very wrong idea of what was going on :)

First page of the Postscript, page 383, paragraph 1, sentence 4. "The experience was so much fun that I wanteßd to try something again..."

"Latin small letter sharp s" (eszett) is used instead of an apostrophe. I'm not sure if this is a printing error exclusive to this specific copy, or if it's included in other books.
I left the little publishing info page, in case anyone wanted to check. This is a library copy.
