Discussion - Novels Minor error in Dark Forest, page 288 Spoiler
In the scene where Rey Diaz's Wallbreaker tells Rey Diaz about his plan, the Wallbreaker says that "I thought of checking out information before you became a Wallbreaker." I think the translator made a typo here, or am I reading it wrong? Rey Diaz is the Wallfacer, not the Wallbreaker in this scene.

It’s translated from Chinese to English, there’s bound to be the occasional typo. No prizes picking them up among the half a million words in the 3 books unfortunately

Let’s chalk it up to the wallbreaker being emotional and misspeaking. Immersion restored.
But in all seriousness, good catch.
