ivyB4winter The Way We Go
Total Score: 69/100
Feedback: The cover and blurb were amazing. They definitely caught my attention. There is need for improving in wording, grammar and spelling. The plot is very intriguing, and I'm left wondering how it'll end— but it hooked me. The characters are very enjoyable, especially the main character. I love the author's humor honestly. It's very enjoyable. Also, the poems at the beginning of every chapter are beautiful.
SollightRain Backlash Pt.1
Total Score: 69/100
Feedback: Synopsis is a mouthful, the names are quite long and I noticed that throughout the work itself as well, it makes it a rocky read, but that is of no fault of the writer as it is fan-fiction and I'm sure it is perfectly readable for those who know the proper pronunciations. The writer includes names and words as well as their meanings prior to the start of the first chapter. This is a thoughtful idea as readers can reference any unknown words here. On another note, I did notice a lot of simple words being repeated when synonyms could improve sentences. The sentences make coherent sense which is a point in the writer's favor. I did notice that formatting could be improved, large blocks of words broken up into shorter paragraphs. The writer did not exemplify a particularly exceptional vocabulary so the sentences read a little flat.
Alyflo777 21st Century Girl
Total Score: 73/100
Feedback: The cover is nice to look at, and the synopsis is well written! Overall, the synopsis has an interesting hook and the cover has a pleasant background. Writer incorporates imagery incredibly well throughout the first few chapters. The story is a bit fast paced but always descriptive and kept me intrigued, wondering as to how the story would end.
BellOfSilence When Stars Fall
Total Score: 95/100
Feedback: The cover immediately grabs the reader's attention. The synopsis is likewise enrapturing. A great start! The author is particular when choosing intricate language to grab the attention of the audience and uses a wide range of words. Writer used imagery to a great extent. The characters were definitely intriguing. Overall, a great read!
ECB1994 The Collaboration
Total Score: 58/100
Feedback: Interesting correlation to Phantom of the Opera and Love Never Dies. A good introduction, and good imagery. I can clearly see a distinction between characters-- They have different personalities that stand out rather than feeling flat and stagnant.
