Well, the editor did publish the first of the two accepted reviews. He edited it quite strongly. For example, he removed every instance of the words "I" and "Me". Now, I hate John Wick, so I always use those words in my reviews. I use them a LOT.

I also use the same tone I use in this journal. I'm like that. I talk a certain way, and lots of stuff gets written like it would be spoken.

So it was kind of jarring, reading the published version side by side with the written one.

He did a good job editing it; his changes made sense, and worked mostly overall. But it didn't FLY, dammit. It didn't SING anymore.

Ah, well. No more singing for supper money.

Well, it's still a good review. :o) And now I can read it and mentally put all the personal pronouns back in! ;o)

If you want, I can send you a copy of the original.

Which reviews? Where? Should I have Pyramid subscription again?

I'll tell you about it later.

But, yes, mostly.

As someone else figured out, it's the Rokugan review in this week's Pyramid. It's fairly heavily editted.
