to buy a trilogy of books that l already own in Finnish but the translator did such a poor job that it was painful to read. l could tell the potential of the books. So, now l want to be able to read and enjoy the trilogy but it means l have to take a leap of faith find another good translator or buy it in English.

Would be nice but the libraries don't have it
it is quite an old trilogy book, so, it is not that expensive to buy all three
it is just annoying that the translator did such a poor job

Yes, l was planning to get in English. The books from the translator l have are grammatically from  Google Translate to Finnish, then Chinese, and back to Finnish. It is horrible.
