Most of the errors I noticed were improperly placed commas. A good editor should be able to catch those easily.
But, despite the author's faults, the story is very interesting. I did love the beautiful descriptions, from scenic descriptions like the wind sweeping across the steppes to historical details like how the Cossacks could hide their entire cavalry in plain sight. I had trouble connecting with the characters, but I always felt like I was there in each scene because of how well McQueen described it.
I have too many books on my plate to read this one just now, but I hope someday I will be able to finish it.
