Title: 5/5
The title goes well with the story. It feels unique and exciting.
Cover: 5/5
The elements (crown, moon, book) used in the cover give a glimpse of who the story is about and the genre. The colours used in it are also befitting. I personally felt like the font could have been better, but it's eye-catching nonetheless.
Blurb: 4/5
The writing of the blurb is descriptive and exciting; it gives a good insight into the story. I just found it a little too long and repetitive. The logline was just a summary of the entire blurb and felt unnecessary (though it was well-written).
Creativity/Originality: 10/10
Aurelia's interest in science and knowing more about herself is what makes this story so original. There were also a lot of new things that made the story different from others in the same genre. The whole world-building was impressive as well.
Plot/Flow: 9/10
The abnormality in Aurelia's wolf makes for a complex plot. So far, the plot seems promising. I noticed a few details that make the story mysterious as well. As for the flow and pacing, it was nice and comfortable to read. Sometimes, the narration got a little descriptive (especially in Aurelia's POV when she described past events and other things). It's good to have those, but the longer descriptions made some scenes slower than the rest. However, a lot of those descriptions were fascinating and thought-provoking.
Characters: 9/10
As the main character, Aurelia is smart and passionate about science. It's something that I rarely see in the main characters of fantasy novels. It makes her unique. Her concern for her grandmother shows how much she cares for her loved ones. Showing multiple sides of the same character makes them seem more natural. Her grandma felt natural, just like a real grandmother: loving and caring. Aiden's character seems pretty multifaceted as a person with huge responsibilities. I like how he held onto his kindness. What I hope to see from the characters is flaws that they would have to overcome throughout the story.
Grammar/Writing Style: 8/10
The writing style was comfortable to read and easy to visualise. I like how the descriptions varied with each character's POV as if they had a voice of their own. I felt like the grammar was off in some parts. There was a constant shift in the tense. I'll advise the author to stick to either present or past tense, not both at the same time. Some words needed capitalising as well.
Reading Enjoyment: 5/5
It was fun and easy to read. I liked the plot and the characters; they were interesting. The chapter in the beginning, which introduced various terms, was a great addition for readers new to the genre.
Overall: 55/60
The storyline and the characters are pretty unique and interesting. The author needs to work on the matters stated above. Overall I can say it was a decent read.
