[Based on the first 4 chapters]

Title: 4/5

In the beginning, the title felt a little cliche. While reading the story, however, it made sense that the word "ROYAL" had a different meaning to it. I like how it ties to the story in this way.

Cover: 4.5/5

The colours and details on the cover are visually appealing. I can see how they hint at the overall picture or vibe of the story. However, some parts of the text are hardly readable due to the details.

Blurb: 4.5/5

The blurb is beautifully written. It has the perfect amount of information about the story; it doesn't reveal too much but it's enough to hook the reader. The author has successfully written the blurb using elements that make the story special. I just found a few typos here and there; a quick proofreading would fix them.

Creativity/Originality: 10/10

Based on what I've read so far, the story is pretty unique. Reincarnation is a very popular trope and I love how other elements harmonise with it. The worldbuilding is also strong and unique, which is good for a high fantasy. There are a lot of new and exciting things in this story, which make it original.

Plot/Flow: 8/10

The plot is nice and unique; it's easy to know what the story is about and what I'm supposed to expect from it. I like how the plot focuses on the main goal and doesn't allow the reader to get too distracted. However, Everetta's POV seems more fast-paced than Eli's. It's probably because of her personality and how her memory loss affected it, but it makes her chapters slightly harder to read. I found this especially in Chapter 1 where she narrated a lot of information. There was a lot of info dumping, "telling" and not "showing" that made the chapter somewhat boring. However, things got better from chapter 2. In fact, the plot got more interesting with every chapter.

Characters: 10/10

Both the main characters seem interesting. They have different personalities and mindsets. I like how the author considered the fact that Everreta has lost her memories and how it affects/changes her personality. Everetta, as the main character, is really unique. She has the sort of energy that I don't see everywhere; she's brave and daring. Her circumstances make her a very complex character. I also like how Eli had both strengths and weaknesses; it made him seem very natural. There are many possibilities for character development as well.

Writing Style/Grammar: 8/10

I love how the writing style differed in the characters' POVs, it felt like each character had their own voice. Apart from this, the story was beautifully written. I just felt like Everetta's narration was pretty wordy. I only found a few grammatical errors and typos, though they weren't major. However, this problem was more visible in Chapter 4; I found some punctuation errors as well.

Reading Enjoyment: 4/5

The unique plot and the characters were interesting. A lot of questions arise while reading, which is good to keep the reader hooked. However, some parts were slightly hard to read due to wordiness and other issues mentioned earlier. Overall it was a decent read.

Overall: 53/60

The plot, writing and character designs are all in harmony with one another. It felt good reading this because of its uniqueness. I'll suggest the author polish the story a little by making some small adjustments. Good luck!
