Ignis Aurum Probat

Ignis Aurum Probat by justamk_

Overal Review:
This story drives of chaos, drama and hidden secrets! It's a story of family, wealth and rivals. A world in which some humans are gifted with a power, in some cases a curse and that's how it is for Airi the daughter of a multibillionaire. Her hopes and dreams of becoming Co-president of her families company, with her partner(who also happens to be her best friend) are put on hold when family secrets recerface and betrayal is at the works. A world in which love, family, money and revenge is all any one thinks about.

Positives/What I enjoyed:
- The proluge. I like how you were able to capture my attention right from the very beginning with all the shocks/ surprises. I didn't think it was possible to have so many wide-eyed / jaw dropping moments in such a short chapter!😂It was also rather heartbreaking/ emotional which I gather was the intended effect, so you did well conveying emotion too💕

- Your character names are different/more original compared to most stories, this is a great skill/quality to have as it makes them stand out an become more rememberable

- You have made the reader (aka me) connected to the story right from the beginning, this has been done through comedy and twists/turns. These aspects are important in any story but more so with yours because it distracts the reader from the confusion of the first few chapters (see more in constructive critism)

Constructive critism:
There isn't much to go in here. This is the complete and honest truth! In my opinion anyway, but I am no professional haha. Anyhow there are still a few pointers like any book.

- So as you mention at the end of the first few chapter, the book is rather confusing. The most confusing part being on the first official chapter, this is because the first thing I thought was Airi was the same girl from the prologue but as I continued to read chapter 1 I realised that wouldn't make sense. This confusion caused me to not invest so much in the first chapter as I spent half of it thinking she wasn't a separate character furthermore it create more questions than answers...
Whilst it is explained later in the story, I recommend (this is only a suggestion) ethier mentioning at the start of the first chapter that they are different characters from the prologue or, or mentioning the girls name in the prologue as this then makes it clear that we are following someone elses pov and not the one from in the prolouge(If this makes sense.) I think this is important because whilst I figured out by chapter 2 they were not the same character, I saw in the comments others didn't realise until the phone call. This could then possibly make them more confused than to begin with as they were reading the story from the wrong pov, hence getting a different reaction etc

Does this make sense 😅?

(Spoiler! On another note if you think that it would take away the mystery I disagree only because we still don't know who the girl in the prolouges family is until the phone call - and that was a big shock!)

- At one point in chapter 1 (I think it was chapter 1 anyway) you state how Airi had 'Bubblegum pink' hair but later in the same chapter...erm... You kind of stated she had 'Red' hair. I could be mistaken - you may have been talking about two different character but I'm pretty sure it was both about Airi. So I would suggest possible checking your chapters again(especially chapter 1) just to make sure you haven't accidently changed the hair/eye colour etc of your characters as at some point someone will point it out, for example me.

- Further on that point of description. I think you should go into more detail about what each character looks like. Whilst you do tell us what they look like, you do this slowly meaning you will tell us their eye colour and hair colour at different times (for example.) I only mention this because sometimes people can create an image of what the character looks like for example they imagine a character with 'blonde hair and blue eyes' then boom all of a sudden the character actually has 'black hair and brown eyes' and well, I would say its not really a problem that you have then seperated/slowly mentioned throughout the story but it can be quite gutting to know the character isn't how you expected - if you get what I mean. Again I would say this is preference and completely up to you as an author, this pointer was just a tip if anything.

Overal thoughts:
Ok my Overal thoughts...hmm...I hated it. No I'm joking (please don't hate me 🥺) I actually loved this story. Loved💕. It had so many good components to it that made it such a good read, I ended up reading the whole book (or that of which is posted anyway - I'll be waiting for more!) I really found it interesting everything down to the plot, the twists and the characters.
Further I've created a real connection to the book, in the sense I already know the characters I love/ hate and am very invested.

I think Airi and Kaito should get together also 😁🤔hint. Hint - I want 'Airito'
I was also wondering is Jourou Using Airi, or does he actually like her(even if it is just a little bit?)

Personal rating: 8/10
Definitely worth the read, you just need to get past the confusing parts in the beginning. With help/editing this book could become amazing - like I mean more amazing than it is obviously 🙃

Oh I was wondering if u you were planning on entering it into the Wattys2020?
Also I wouldn't say its a Action/Scifi book like you said it was Id think it more a romance/mystery/fantasy kind of book (and drama but wattpad doesn't have that catagory haha...)

I hope you liked this review, I'm sorry I couldn't input more. Also sorry if I spelt any of the characters names wrong 🥺💕
