Username - RowanCarver Book Title - King Eden Score - 91/100 Review -
Title- Title is simple yet captivating. It gives the idea that this book revolves around just one person and that is true. Blurb- Blurb is really good, but King Eden is a she then shouldn't it be queen. It's a little confusing. Only after reading the story I realised why it was written that way. Cover- The graphics seem too loud, but I can see how they are related to the story. The fonts used are amazing. Plot- It's an amazing story, but the first chapter was a little bland. It failed to create excitement and lacked hook. The story flows at a reasonable pace after that and becomes interesting after the second chapter. Originality- It's really original and execution is amazing as well. Grammar- There are no grammatical mistakes at all. Just a silly typo: I'm am immortal, after all. Edit: I am an immortal, after all. Writing style- The scenic and character descriptions are beautiful. But there's a formatting error; Ex: "Did you win?" I don't bother to answer. Edit: "Did you win?" I don't bother to answer. Fighting scenes seemed more telling than showing. Ex: I beat the shit out of him. It heals his wounds as I brutally inflict them one after the other. What was the character actually doing? Kicking? Punching? Characters- The lead character Eden is intriguing and seems real, but Fix is just there to be the bad guy. He lacks personality and fails to impress. Final thoughts: It's a new take on the Dystopian theme and worth reading.

Title- It's decent, but not the best title I have heard. It relates to the story. Blurb- The blurb is amazing. I like how well constructed it is. It tells the readers exactly what to expect without giving away too much. Cover- Graphics are beautiful. The fonts used fit the genre perfectly. Plot- What seemed little illogical is the brainchip monitoring thoughts. And they are not allowed to think anything bad about the clones or they will get punished. By that logic more than half of the humans should have been executed. The story is a little slow paced in the beginning. It picks up the right pace after the third chapter. Originality- It's not the original concept, but execution is done well. Grammar- You have made some silly typos at certain places. Writing style- Instead of all the information dumped at once I prefer them spaced out and associated with actions. Chapter one although beautiful had a huge chunk of info dump. Characters- The characters, although stereotypical, were so good. I hated the character you wanted me to hate and I empathize with the lead. Great job. Final Thoughts: It's a great book. My only criticism is it's pace in the first three chapters.

Title: It's a decent title, but I have heard it before. Blurb: The blurb is really good and hooked me. My only critique is that it's too vague. Cover: Cover is okay. All the fonts seem squished at the bottom. Plot: The plot was smooth and easy to understand. It was so interesting and well put together it had me hooked right from the prologue. Originality: I loved the fact that this is not a dystopian world cliche story. The blend of two timeline is amazing. Grammar: You have made a few typos. There were few punctuation and capitalisation issues. Writing style: The character and scenic descriptions were beautiful. My only critique is some of the words are repeated too much and try to avoid adverbs as much as possible. Characters: The character's tics and personalities are described beautifully. I can tell who is nervous, who is confident and arrogant. Final thoughts: Why didn't I come across this story earlier?
