Elephant Reviews [CFCU]

The Final Innings

By: ManeetSurana

Warning: This review contains a spoiler. 

First Impressions (ex. Cover, blurb, title)

-Title: The title seems fitting for the story

-Cover: The cover is impactful and dynamic.

-Blurb: The blurb covers all the points.

Mechanics (ex. Grammar, sentence structure, etc.)

- There are some sentences that can be combined to vary the length and flow.

- The story has some errors, so maybe the help of an editor would be encouraged.

- The chapter titles are well done, especially the last two in the way that it is a metaphor that reflects the sport in subject.

SPOILER in the following section 

Plot- 

- The plot is interesting and has a good sense of buildup and climax. The resolution was well paced and the story felt complete.

- Some ideas could be explained a little more, such as what spot-fixing is exactly. Another example is when Rehaan woke up after his assault and talked with the coach, it wasn't clear as to where he was in terms of physical location.

- One note on the final chapter is that maybe it would be better in chronological order instead of first writing the resolution and then a flashback illustrating what happened leading up to that point to keep the suspense as to the outcome.

Characters

-The different points of view were well executed.

-The characters had unique profiles and it was easy to tell them apart.

With some polishing up, this is a great read. Good luck on your writing journey!
