Review done by sassy-weirdo
Title: 4 /5
Cover: 3.5/5
The title and the cover fit the content nicely. Anyone seeing the cover would know that this is a thriller/ horror story but I would suggest making the over a bit more relevant to the story's theme so as to attract more attention from the readers.
Blurb: 4.5/5
The blurb was well thought and nicely written. It is straightforward but not too straightforward. It's intriguing and attractive. Well done
Grammar and vocab: 3/5
The grammar and vocabulary is a bit low so I'd suggest requesting your book in an editing shop.
Writing style: 4.5/5
The writing style's great. It's neatly thought out and very descriptive. I loved how you portrayed the thoughts of both the characters and how nicely you described their thought process. Writing the history of the Nation's child would be quite difficult especially since it's pretty complex but you aced it. A suggestion I'd give you is to write short simple sentences as they are easier to understand than complex ones.
Creativity/ Originality: 4.5/5
Your level of creativity is amazing. Reading the story left me speechless. It's like the chapters shine with a level of creativity. You did a very good job in this department ;)
Character development: 9.5/10
Now coming to character development, it was mind-blowing. The way you showed the contrasting emotions going inside the female protagonist's mind was quite well written. I really loved how you portrayed the thoughts of both the male and female protagonists. It was nicely written and well planned.
Plot: 9.5/10
The plot's good and it has left me curious. I would love to know more about Kleopha and Raynedrakin. The plot must have required a lot of planning and imagination which can be understood through your writing.
Genre Relevance: 4.5/5
The genre is totally relevant. The readers get what they were looking for i.e gothic romance. The way you add horror with a hint of romance touches readers' hearts and intrigues and provokes them to read more. I would suggest this book to anyone interested in this genre.
Overall enjoyment: 4.5/5
I liked the story a lot. My most favorite part was when Kleopha remembered the past and how she reacted. It must have taken a lot of planning and creativity and as I said earlier, you aced t. One suggestion though, shortens the name of the first chapter i.e prologue. You could just write 'Recap' as the name or something of that sort. Another suggestion I have is to run a spelling and grammar check before publishing. These options can be found in both Google docs and MS Word.
Total: 52/60
