The Romance Genre

"The Mandalorian and the Jedi: Book One of the Mandalorian Series"

Scoring and Review by Abigailk8:

     Cover: (3/5) - The cover was pretty simple, loved designs around it and all.

     Title: (3.5/5) - I think the title fits in well as the book entails the budding romance between Din Djarin and Kyra.

     Blurb: (4/5) - The blurb was truly amazing, I loved the author gave hints of the problems they would have along the way without giving away too much.

     First Chapter: (2.5/5) - The way the characters were introduced was very cool with Kyra waking up, getting on her speeder, and riding through the desert as she flees from the Imperials while Din taking the Mythrol were great ways to introduce the characters. I had a genuine lack of interest though from this chapter, I'm not familiar with the star wars theme in any way so I couldn't really enjoy the chapter.

     Writing Style: (5/5) - The author's amazing writing style shone through the dark clouds of unfamiliarity I had with the main theme of the book.

     Character Development: (3/5) - Din seemed to have developed with better way of handling overwhelming situations as in Chapter 5 he's seen reassuring Kyra that they could come out of their current situation and hopefully raise the child in a better environment.

     Creativity: (4/5) - I haven't seen many books like this over the course of my reading experience on Wattpad and even if the are, the author has a unique way of writing departing her works from others diligently.

     Story Phase: (4/5) - I think the last available chapter showed us a good place where Din and Kyra they were aware of the possibilities that could come their way. They seemed happy and ready to care for the child, which may lead to a good 'Calm before the storm' scenario allowing readers to anticipate later chapters.

     Grammar/Vocabulary: (9.5/10) - The author did a great job writing a such piece without any form of mistake, at least none stood out in particular.

     Plot: (8/10) - I loved the plot, it seemed like the perfect mix between romance and adventure so it was a really beautiful idea to imagine.

     Emotional Impact: (6/10) - I think the affection they shared for the child was sweet to imagine.

     Readers Engagement: (5/10) - The author had amazing descriptions which helped readers envision the surroundings around the Mandalorian and Kyra pretty well. Still, I have no idea how star wars books work so I wasn't hooked.

     Overall Enjoyment: (8/20) - The author had a great writing style as I mentioned earlier, yet my unfamiliarity with the star wars theme really didn't help me enjoy it in the slightest. The author's amazing writing style and lack of error definitely helped push me to continue reading.

Total Score: (65.5/100)
