Number of chapters read: 11

Title: 7.5/10
I must say the title is quite intriguing in itself. When I first came across the title, I assumed that Kharizma might be an author by passion is not quite renowned. But when I went through the blurb, I was amazed at how you created a different meaning to the title. However, I suggest you use smaller words like mystery author, etc which makes it even more intriguing!

Cover: 9/10
The cover is really pretty and one which might actually catch the attention of the readers if it were to be displayed in a real-life bookstore. However, the words 'unnamed author' could be more projective as it is hardly visible in a first glance. Take note that the book is on an online platform and we readers put a lot of strain reading online, and thus small details like these should be rectified so that readers can enjoy your book to the very best!

Blurb: 10/10
I must say the blurbs are really really amazing! The blurb initially made me curious to know what would happen because I just couldn't imagine myself as a writer transported inside my very own book, You have clearly given out the elements needed to bring in the authors and, at the same time hide in elements to keep readers immersed in the story rather than give it out all away. Good work out there!

Grammar and Spelling: 10/10
Something that has to be taken care of while writing is obviously the grammar, and I must say you nailed it! I did go through everything with my super hawk eyes but I'm impressed to find zero grammatical errors. Keep up the good work!

Hook and Plot Development: 9/10
Something that I really loved about this book is obviously how you have crafted the plot of the story. Writers go through different horrible realms to bring about a story but things might not be so cool when we get plunged in right? I definitely walked in the shoes of Kharizma as Charm throughout the story, but something that caught me off guard was obviously the pace and transition, I felt like the story was too fast and since the plot is quite complex in itself, the pacing might make maders confused on whats happening and who's who. Apart from the pacing, the plot really took me reading till the last page!

Character Development: 10/10
I love how you have described the characters and while reading, could definitely imagine the characters' forms as if they were right infront of me. I love how you actually introduced Kharizma's actions instead of following Charm's which was both unique and intriguing. Finn's character and his background history is very well written and the whole dark aura revolving around the characters and the setting made me till the very last page.

Plot Development and Pacing: 8.5/10
Lets be biased here, I love dark aura and anything revolving around dark themes, and with that at hand loved the plot so much! But when it comes to pacing, I felt like the plot was moving too very fast, that at points when new characters were introduced, hed to tum back pages to re-read the story to understand what happened. Obviously tuming back pages rather than turning forward ain't good right? A little bit slow move on the pacing would definitely make the book a read-through as the readers should move forward with both Charms and Kharizma, rather than having a glitch.

Persanal enjoyment: 9.5/10
Personally, I love the book a lot as the plot itself is quite unique and one that have never encountered before. However the pacing of the story was way too quick which made me turn back pages, which to be honest was frustrating With a little slow move on the pacing and introduction of new characters, Kharizma is going to be a star!
