May I suggest you give a cooling-off period, followed by editing, to your next installment? You’ve got Homophonia.

Nahh. "Cooling off periods" only take me farther from my original impressions. I will be happy to eat my words in the reviews of the future books, though, if necessary. I'm going to refrain on making a judgment on the series as a whole until I'm finished Book VII.
I'm happy to squash the homophones, though.

You are just too clever. I had planned to comment on the homonym problem, as well, but your summation was brilliant.

Chamber of Secrets, eh? Attempted murder, kidnapping, slavery, animal cruelty, bad table manners, theft. Did I miss any? The inter-racial dating doesn’t start until book 4.

I meant “cooling-off” after writing, in order to see one’s homophones with a clear eye.
As the leader of the Typso and Allied Verbal Mayhem ping list, I have a set of shorthand diagnoses for grammatical gaffes: “Homophonia” is one of the most common problems, followed by “Comma Chaos.” Then there’s “Semicolitis,” for those inclined to Faulknerie.
