Title: 10/10
The title goes perfectly well with the story, it's not too much or too little.
Cover: 4/10
The cover is far too simple, it doesn't do much for the collection. Also, the font is hard to read because it blends into the background too much and the author's name isn't present which is a big no.
Writing style: 7/10
Your writing style suits that if a fantasy writer, you use a lot of big words that I often found myself looking for a dictionary to figure out what this or that meant. While this is a good this it is a setback because a lot of times readers will end up putting your collection down because they are being bombarded with so many new words.
Use of figures of speech: 20/20
You did beautifully, I found myself analysing your poems, I really enjoy that.
Imagery: 7/10
Although you have used description and figures of speech to try and create images, I feel like most of it is lost during to the fact that you use such big words, your reader will get lost in trying to figure out what you meant, your poems are lovely but I would not recommend them to a light reader.
Flow of words: 8/10
Your rhymes and use of literary devices is amazing however, given that poems are meant to be read aloud as opposed to in your head, I can imagine how horrible it would be to read your poems out loud, the unfamiliar words throw me off but it doesn't change the fact that your work is amazing.
Enjoyment:5/10
I am becoming very repetitive. Your vocabulary hinders overall reader enjoyment. I think it suits the genre of poetry however, I found myself having to stop after every sentence to pick up a dictionary or google what you meant.
Originality: 10 /10
I have never come across a poetry collection like yours.
Grammer, spelling and vocabulary: 10/10
I didn't pick up on any Grammer or spelling mistakes.
