    So I know that I'm doing this review way to early along inside a novel on here. However, it would be remiss of me to not acknowledge the effort put into using localized dialect in writing. True to the authors words it takes a small adjustment and a few moments to parse the meanings of some words it is a fact that it is all understandable, and that outside speech the grammar is impeccable. Truly a good start that I hope to see more of.
