However, the missing star is due to the fact that the map at the beginning of each volume are VERY POORLY reproduced. Their low definition makes it virtually impossible to decipher the names of the islands.
The map sections should be resampled as a matter of urgency, as they are essential to the understanding of the story. In addition, the missing middle map section deletes some of the islands, or parts of them, which makes it all but unusable. A reader who doesn't have a hard copy to refer to, or who wouldn't make the effort to download a high quality map from the author's website, would be hard put to follow the travel of the protagonists.
