I feel the cover could be better. Since your book features the beauty of our country and your motive behind this book is to make people realise how beautiful our country and it's people or their feelings and emotions are. I think the cover should have minute carvings of our land which can give the readers a rough hint on your perspective.
ii)Title-10/10 The title is good, perfectly synced with the stories of the book.
iii)Blurb-9/10 The blurb is really nice and it depicts well what kind of short stories one can find in your book. Overall works well.
iv)Plot-9/10 I liked all the plots especially Lajjo one and Little Pakhi.
v)Writing style and grammar-10/10 Your writing style is amazing and grammar is perfect, I couldn't find a single mistake. Great Job! Also the way you described the beauty of small villages and nature was worth reading, I could connect to the story well.
vi)Flow-10/10 The flow was smooth, I didn't feel a sense of rush anywhere.
vii)Character developement-12/15 Each character of its respective story was portrayed well, but I felt as if something was missing maybe if you cast some people who could resemble with the characters, the readers can connect more. Neverthless, you did an awesome job, Pakhi's innocence, Lajjo's sentiments were described well but if you could add any artist's picture it could lay a more effect on the readers.
viii)Does the author followed you-10/10
ix)Overall impression-13/15 Overall I would say that your motive to feature the beauty of India was fullfilled to a huge extent, anyone who would read the story will surely fall for our country's splendor beauty. A new cover which have some carvings of our country, subtle colors and highlighted username can add more stars to this wonderful collection of short stories.

iii)Blurb-9/10 Blurb is nice and gives a rough hint of your plot and characters.
iv)Plot-10/10 My goodness, I don't have any words for your plot. The plot is amazingly unique. Tbh I have never came across any such story. Awesome job!

vi)Flow-9/10 little bit slow, I felt at some point some of the scenerios weren't needed to be depicted so much, there a feeling to skip that part comes, but I would say in the next para again it became interesting and hooked me well.
vii)Characterdevelopement-15/15 Each character was portrayed well. Fade, Jag and Nefall were sketched beautifully and your sketches and pictures added cherry to the cake. I have to say that the way you described each of your character is truly different and amazing.

i)Cover-7/10 The cover could have been better. I think you should request a cover in a cover shop. Also, your name is not well specified.
ii)Title-10/10 I didn't understand the title by reading the first 5 chapters, so I won't deduct your marks here.
