Review on Falling Embers by H_I_Kabo
First of all, you’ve got the kinda cover I like, no much hassle.

Your story is really really intriguing. I like your grammar formation, punctuation and your dialogues. Just a teenyweeny set of typos.

In chapter 8 though, you quickly switched to the third person POV and switched back to Aseel’s POV, where you wrote, “It was a afternoon of firsts. That was the first time Abba has freely spoken of the past to Aseel. She reveled in the feeling, but it didn’t last long”, I don’t know if that was intentional or not.

Again, in chapter 14, you mentioned a Farida, last think you were referring to Aseel’s Mum whose name I though is Mariam.

Regardless, your book is nothing short of interesting, I started reading it yesterday and couldn’t drop my phone. Imagine, I was on a bike but I just had to read your book because I kept thinking about it.

First of all your cover is lit.

I also love how you described your characters. Your descriptions were awesome.

Punctuations, spellings,tenses, I was too busy enjoying the book to notice any flaws in them.

I love how you portrayed Aseel as a very hardworking girl. And Jawad is a totally different person😍 (Am in love with him already) I love his badboy façade.

And Aseel's Father, I don't want to hate him coz he might be up to something good.

All in all, Falling embers is just so great.

Keep up the good work.

Falling Embers by @H I Kabo

You have a really amazing cover. It is attractive and portrays what your story is all about.

Your writing style? Beautiful. Just amazing. The grammer, the punctuations, your use of words and the NARRATIVE Technique is so real. You really portrayed the POV of a teenager.

Your storyline/plot is unique and relatable. Absolutely relatable not to mention educative. Nothing cliché.

Your character development is great as wel. Believe me as early as chapter 2, I could point out each and every character with their distinctive features. It's so commendable.

Other things, like the POV switch I point out has already been spoken about by others so I hope you wuill work on that.

You are a born writer, and Falling Embers is just amazing. Kudos. Keep writing.

The first thing that caught my attention was the cover, it was beautiful in a simplified way. The title is also brilliant, it says so much about the book before you even begin.

The storyline is excellent and I love how you went about unraveling the whole story and introducing the characters as the story progressed.

The characters are realistic and their conversations are simple and easy to follow.

One thing I had a problem with was following the story with the flashbacks. I think you should introduce italics in places where there are flashes or thoughts so readers can easily follow the story.

No one's perfect, so as expected there are little typos that I'm sure will be corrected with an edit.

All in all, it is a beautiful book, with a beautiful storyline, realistic characters and spectacular cover and title. Keep up the good job 👌.
