Fée

Writer :: Yoon_Gyu

Reviewer :: Author_Jenny

Title :: Fée

Cover :: 6/10

The cover has a simplistic aura, it looks clean but at the same time, it looks empty and incomplete. The simplicity might give the cover an aesthetic aspect, but the creativity could have been better. For poems mostly, I feel like it's okay if the main character's picture is not used, instead, maybe just scenery or symbolism is enough to add that aesthetic to it which the picture might not be able to represent. 

Title :: 4/5

The title is short and interesting, it's aesthetically appealing especially the accent force on one of the words, it means fairy in British directly translated from french. It draws a strong connection between the female character and the poetry. But it is unable to cover the other side of the poem which is the angst theme.

Synopsis :: 7/10

Even though the synopsis explains the theme of the story well, the lines that are used as the synopsis are not the best extract out of the poem. A better and more suitable line or extract could have been used that would at the same time draw a line between one of the major concepts of the poem which is the involvement of the time fairy.

Themes or subjects :: 3/5

One of the main subjects here is the time fairy, her requirement is only expressed in the first chapter, most of the story is written in a way that makes us forget her specialty. The context can be a bit more explained as there are some parts where the sequence of events seems unclear.

Technicalities :: 7/10

The tense seems to jump from past to present, in some places it's jumbled up. Using different tenses in different chapters is okay to explain the occurrence of the event but the change of tense in the same chapter from time to time seems abrupt to me. The enjambments are placed properly but since the poem is free verse it is not following a particular rhyme.

Structure :: 4.5/5

The poem used free verse which is probably one of the most preferable forms since there are not many norms that you have to stick to. The poem has been written in a proper manner concerning its form.

Writing Style :: 7/10

The poem is fairly written, few lines are very expressive and have used poetic devices to portray the depth of emotions, but in the very next line, the poetic essence is dropped to casual and informal language. This creates rough patches between the lines and disturbs the flow. 

Personal enjoyment :: 4/5

To be honest I quite like the poetry, it didn't seem to have a cliché happy ending, it teaches us to move on with our life which is quite relatable to me, without the errors and defaults mentioned above it could have been way better. I personally enjoyed reading it.

Total ::  42.5/60
