kpop book reviews

venice by @lillyath

Lillyath thank you for requesting a review - I hope you find it useful!

⭐️ COVER ⭐️

4.5/5

This is a really beautiful cover. It's the kind of cover that the more you look at it, the more beautiful it looks. I love how the font almost looks like its been painted on. The muted colours of the background are also really gorgeous and I think overall it creates a lovely tone.

⭐️ DESCRIPTION ⭐️

3.5/5

It definitely builds up the idea of some sort of romantic tension between the two characters, but we know nothing about them! I think a little one line description below the quote would help to set the tone of the story so the reader will know what the actually plot is about.

⭐️ PLOT ⭐️

5/5

I loved this! Not only did I really enjoy the setting of Venice which you actually spoke about and made seem authentic with the sections in Italian (some writers often skips over their settings), but I also thought it had a great flow. I thought it was really beautiful.

⭐️ WRITING ⭐

4/5

I thought the writing flowed really beautifully in this, and overall the pacing worked well. I think perhaps you could have gone into more detail about their reactions and emotions to certain events that happen e.g. Jimin falling in love with her felt a tad too fast.

⭐️ CHARACTERS ⭐️

4.5/5

I liked Aurora and I think she came across as very authentic. I think perhaps you could have developed her personality a little more because she clearly has a good sense of humour. I really liked the way you characterised Jimin because you give the impression that there is a lot to be discovered about him.

⭐️ OVERALL ⭐️

A really special book which has a lot of potential!
