I don't have the book with me right now to look this up, but I thought I remember the phrase "steelpull" during the first big action scene (I can look it up when I get home). Shouldn't this be "Ironpull"?
Also, for the authors here. Do typo's typically get fixed after the initial printings? For a first printing hardback, I understand that there could be some, but I've read a few "mass market paperbacks" of a book originally printed close to 10 years ago that have had typos. I am not one to notice every little mistake, but when I do notice them it kind of temporarily pulls me out of the story, which naturally I find disturbing. For lots of those more popular books, how long could they sit on shelves after printing?
