The Silent Voice

Book by EtherealMoon2kx

Title 10/10
It's perfect, since Athena was being forced into the marriage, and though she tried to speak against it her voice was silent, so I feel like it's perfect.

Cover 10/10
It's obvious that the person on the cover is Athena, and the way she's faced away from the camera and her body language shows her reluctance to get married. It's eye catching and very much relates to the story.

Characters 10/10
The characters are well thought out and fit into their parts perfectly. They're well written, and I feel like the author took the time to get to know the characters that some authors don't.

Plot/storyline 9/10
There weren't any big gaps or holes. Everything felt smoothly written and put together. The only thing wrong, and it's not really wrong, is that I personally feel that the unwilling arranged marriage is a popular trope. This is nothing I'm shaming the author for, as it was a really good story.

Description 9/10
It's not too short or too long, and it explains just enough about the story that you get pulled in. The only thing I don't love is the use of emojis. I feel like the emojis seem out of place and odd at times. This is just my personal opinion, the author doesn't necessarily need to fix this.

Enjoyment 10/10
I loved this book. I could feel what the characters were feeling, feeling the reluctance and the heartbreak and the fear. It was beautifully crafted and I absolutely loved it.

Overall 58/60
This book was beautifully written and I loved it. The only thing you might want to fix is the description, but other than that it was amazing and I highly recommend it!
