Book Title : Throne of Dragonix
Author: Baqkns
Reviewer: _wordmist_addict_
1. Title
Title is very much relevant and sounds good. It is unique and definitely interesting. A very smart and good choice as it will certainly attract the attention of the readers especially fantasy and dragon fiction lovers.
2. Cover
The cover quite great as it beautifully does justice to the story you have thought of. Even though the images and font manage to catch the eye - the color pallet of the cover is worthy of separate praise, that's how good it is. Personally, the yellow and brown pallet used, made a long lasting impression on me. It aptly gives away the theme of the story and makes sure that readers click on the read button, so good job!
3. Blurb
The blurb is perfect for the story and gives the correct vibes which make it very effective. I really liked how you started the blurb with the one liner about unification and rebellion because it clearly showcases your ability to write one liners which are a masterpiece.
The blurb smooth describes the emerging war like situations, but at the same time it also gives the ray of hope that maybe the situation will get better once the new emperor is chosen. So this experimentation with the two contrasting perspectives of the ongoing situation of the book, is commendable and definitely praiseworthy.
4. Aesthetics/ banners/ covers/playlists used in the chapters
No as such aesthetics or banners are used but you can try incorporating it. But honestly? I think the book is good without it too. Why?
Because I don't think published books like harry potter had images, did it? ;)
Good luck!
5. First impression ( made from the first few paragraphs, blurb, cover and title)
The first impression is very good and from the cover to the first few paragraphs - everything seems so professional. Readers also get the feeling that 'Wow! this book is definitely going to be published.'
Readers who are lovers of such genres, will definitely love this book and wouldn't even think of leaving it without completing. The opening of the book with the prologue is very well written. It sets the ground for the well developed plot which will be showcased to the readers in the upcoming chapters.
6. First chapter (after the prologue)
The first chapter is very detailed and gives loads of information about the setting of the story. It makes sure that readers don't feel alienated in the book, and it ensures that they know what they are reading. The pace of the first chapter is perfect as the author has aptly introduced the characters, location and circumstances of the story.
Your story is one of the few books on wattpad, which creates it's own world. This is evident in the first chapter, as you skillfully describe the political and social surrounding of the place where the story is set. This ensures that the readers relate to the story but at the same time also observe the differences. The first chapter provides a base which introduces the main characters like Ignia, Mrs. Moon, Iian etc. This familiarizes us to them, ensuring that we know who is talking or thinking. There are a whole lot of characters loaded which sometimes confuses the readers in the beginning but by the end of the first chapter, they become clearer and more vivid.
The ending of the chapters is one of the best things I liked. It is suspenseful, satisfying and definitely hooks the readers.
7. Characters development
The character development of still progressing and will be evident by the end of the book only because by now, the pace setting and introduction to the new world of dragons has been prevailing.
8. Plotline
The plot line is so damn good that I can't expressive or review it in words. Be it the social or political surrounding, the characters, the brewing war, the anticipation regarding the throne of the dragonix, the layers of the characters - everything is perfectly planned and that it very much visible in the chapters.
The plot is smoothly planned out with mapping and scheming done making it very clear in narration. The apt amount of the suspense and fantasy has taken fair amount of credit for the perfect conduction of the storyline.
9. Grammar
The grammar used is spotless and seems to be thoroughly edited. You have a good command on grammar which is praiseworthy. The usage of heavy words is quite professional and never even once seems to be forced, it looks natural and very apt. The vast and effective vocabulary used is noticed by readers and appreciated too. Good work!
10. Word count of chapters/ number of chapters
The word count of the chapters seem quite elaborate but never stretched. I normally recommend keeping the word count between 2k - 3k for wattpad books because it is feasible for readers. But you have full blown chapters which sometimes exceeds 3k but that 's completely understandable considering the fact that you often change the scenes while narration. So I think it's better to keep it the way it is to prevent shortening or cutting of the scenes in between. So I think the current word count is good enough.
11. Writing style and flow of the book
The writing style is really flowy and descriptive. The third person point of view used is very apt and perfect for the storyline you are progressing with as it suits the narration of the book. The chapters flow with a good pace and doesn't seem rushed so good work there. The ending the and starting of the chapter - both are very well written and never cease to attract the reader's attention.
12. Interaction and socialization with readers
Interaction with the readers is quite good but can be improved. Socialization is not evident and can be improved with author's note or something.
13. Hook/ overall enjoyment
the overall enjoyment is inevitable because of the hook the story creates. Personally, I got distracted from the story after two or three chapters because of my lack of interest in this genre but I can assure you that the people who like this genre will definitely enjoy this because it is so well written!
14. Constructive criticism
The story is well written and my eyes haven't actually found anything to criticize much. But you need to work on socialization because even after commendably written book, the number of reads on the book is quite less.
15. Suggestions
Try contacting different stories of this genre and find readers who would like this book, and then promote your book as a suggestion. Don't force them, just drop them a message and I am sure you will find some loyal readers for this splendid book.
