Whirlwind [Nanya]

Book: Whirlwind
Author: softyhartz
Reviewer: nanyapixie6
Number of chapters read: 6

Title:
It seemed plain at first and I wondered how it would relate to the book but it was well emphasised in the blurb. It gives a one-word description of the main plot, so it fulfils its role in being a good title.
Intriguing? Not really, The name has a calm vibe and without reading the description it's not the first book I'll pick.

Cover:
The picture used is aesthetic and pretty, the fonts are bold enough and you can clearly see the name of the author and the book title.
Does it relate to the book title? No, it doesn't but it relates to the main character so that makes up for it. Although I feel more can be done for the cover, it suits the vibe of the title and plot, good work!

Blurb/Description:
What I got from this was your average YA fiction, from this, I believe there would be drama in the book which was a bonus for me. I wished it was a bit longer though it was explanatory, it needs a little pinch to attract a reader. Like an event that was to happen or something similar.

Originality/creativity:
It's cliché but relatable and emotional, very emotional.
It is also very well written.

Grammar/punctuation:
I don't think I noticed any errors and there was very good use of punctuations and the grammar was also good. I was in love with the descriptions, I could really imagine what was going on!

Plot:
Cliché but it had a good pinch. It seemed cliche but didn't turn out how I expected and I was glad.

Writing style:
very good and creative writing style. Professionally written and honestly that's always a plus for any story.

Character development:
I didn't really notice any character development. However, Alyson did have a bit when she finally snapped at Ethan for his confusing behaviour instead of just breaking down in front of him.

Overall enjoyment:
I wanted more, I needed more. The story was well written yes but not really intriguing. I like the plot form but it needed more. I don't really know how to explain it but it felt like there could be more.

There weren't really any cliffhangers and places. From one previous chapter to another Ethan and her are crying and asking why all over again. This just kept going, there were no other events. There was nothing to spice it up. There was barely any comedic relief and I just wanted the sad couple to get back together. Phew! I apologise for the rank but I was a bit relieved from chapter 5 after the scene where than saved the girl from the alley and Alyson finally snapped at him for his confusing behaviour. Yes, that was necessary! And honesty helped the story. I had expected more drama or honestly just more anything than the back and forth between them though it was the main plot.

I hope this helps :)
