NarimaneTaman thank you for requesting a review - I hope it's useful!

⭐️ COVER ⭐️

4.5/5

I really love this cover. I think the font works really well with the picture and overall it has a very professional vibe. I also really like the translucent image of Taehyung as I think it adds another dimension to the cover, and makes it even more interesting.

⭐️ DESCRIPTION ⭐️

3.5/5

While I like the way you have used a section of the book, I feel like it doesn't really explain what the book is about. I think you could build up the same tension and suspense through giving a more conventional description which would clarify some things about the plot, meaning readers aren't going into the book blind.

⭐️ PLOT ⭐️

4.5/5

This was such an exciting concept. There were so many components to enjoy. I loved the setting of the book in a war torn kingdom. I loved the fact that it's set in a palace. And I especially loved the plot twist with Jimin. I thought it was all very creative and imaginative, and definitely a plot to capture the reader's imagination.

⭐️ WRITING ⭐️

3/5

I saw that you are currently editing the book so I expect that the grammatical errors will be gone soon. I thought that perhaps you could have had more description within the chapters to break up the dialogue. As well as this, some parts felt too chatty to fit the situation, and maybe some more intense description of how the characters are feeling would be more appropriate.

⭐️ CHARACTERS ⭐️

4/5

I thought all your characters were very interesting and all have a great capacity to grow and develop. I thought the way you portrayed Taehyung's confusion at the situation was very well done, and watching him come to terms with what is happening was a really interesting part of the book. As well as this, I think your characterisation of Jimin was really spot on, and you showed that there was a lot beneath the surface to unpack with his character.

⭐️ SPECIFIC POINTS ⭐️

As for your specific request, I think at the moment the book does feel like it is more focused on Taehyung. However, towards the later chapters there was more of a balance between the focus on both the characters. I also think that you could potentially focus more on the other characters like Jungkook and Hoseok more later on because I feel like they have a lot of mystery and ambiguity surrounding their actions and their characters.

I think you have a great concept, and with a bit more descriptive writing it could be really brilliant!
