The omission of a word

I have extracted some from the one of the reviews about "VAN LAVEN CHRONICLES" in Amazon.com

I'm not usually a fan of romance plots in stories but this became my main interest very quickly. I was quickly drawn to Comron and Vaush and genuinely feared for them at multiple times in the books. Where as usually I would be more drawn to the fantasy or science fiction aspects these they came second to having to know what was going to happen to Comrom and Vaush.

I think "Where as" is the typo of "Whereas."
I'd like to know whether "times" or "days" after "these" is omitted.

Thank you in advance for your help.
