First Impression 9/10 -

Title: It's very basic and unoriginal in my opinion, but that's not a bad thing. It's simplicity draws people in because of questions they may have about who these gifted are.

Cover: The background is again simple, but fits. I like the subtitle you have above the title, very professional looking. Overall, the cover is extremely professional.

Summary: Your summary is very inclusive. It tells the basics of the story and I'm able to see what I can expect once I start reading. This immediately draws in my attention. Along with drawing in my attention, it also looks and sounds professional.

Dialogue/Grammar 10/10 - Your dialogue and grammar are some of the best I've seen on wattpad! I didn't notice any errors in your dialogue, and they flowed so nicely. Your grammar and spelling was pristine, though I may have overlooked tiny grammatical mistakes. The quality of your work in this area makes me want to read even further!

Characters 9/10 - I only read the prologue and first chapter (sorry), but I love the characters already.

Girl from prologue: I don't know her name or anything about her really, but she adds a great deal of suspense to the story. I'm assuming she plays an important role in the story, and I'm eager to find out more about her.

Elayne: I like her, and her parents a lot. I loved the way you showed the relationship between them through the dialogue. Elayne herself is a relatable character, I could relate with the stress she had. The only thing I have negative to say about her is that she seems a little basic, which isn't necessarily bad. I'm excited to read and learn more about her.

Chapter Lengths 10/10 - I love your chapter lengths. The prologue and first chapter weren't too long and they weren't too short either. They were easy for me to get through, but also got through the scene effectively. Keep in mind that this section is entirely opinion and the next person may not feel the same way.

Descriptions 10/10 - The way you described everything in the prologue was incredible. I could see a vivid picture in my head about what was happening. When I got to the first chapter, I was impressed yet again. You describe the setting so beautifully and it makes me want to read even more.

Plot 10/10 - I love the overall idea of your plot. Knowing her test goes wrong from the summary makes it even more interesting to read. I definitely want to continue reading this book to get the full plot.

Overall 9.7/10 - This book is amazing! It's caught my attention and I'll surely be reading more. This is the kind of book I'd buy from Barnes & Noble without a doubt. Your writing is beautiful and I can't wait to read more!

I would highly recommend this book to lovers of sci-fi and fantasy!!
