@kmrgillins I just finished it and honestly, I think you should be able to publish it. The plot is highly original, and your writing and character development is literally the best I've read on Wattpad (it's on par with Throne of Glass, and doesn't fall into any typical YA cliches, thank goodness. There are waayyy too many of those published these days). There are still a few scenes that are a little confusing or seem to be missing (hence confusion) but that is really minor and can easily be fixed. Your world building is absolutely fascinating. It reminds me of Daughter of Smoke and Bone or The Bone Season. But yeah, this story has a lot of potential So try to publish it and then write a brilliant sequel to wow us all!
