[PS: Reviewed completely]

Cover: 3/5
It's nice but not very good if we take consideration of the story and its vibes. The cover I suppose should be something dark and conquering. It's not very attractive right now.

Title: 4.5/5
I think it suits the storyline and is quite appropriate, however it wasn't very alluring to me, although I'm not sure if there could be a better title for this, but maybe something more enticing?

Blurb: 4.5/5
The content is great, and so is the disclaimer substance of the story. The amount is good enough, but the only slack is the visual presentation; not much but still needed.

Plot: 4.5/5
It was interesting, enticing and curiosity striking. It kept me hooked up, and I would definitely want to give it another read.

Execution of the plot: 5/5
Absolutely flawless. I loved how you set up the scenes and executed the whole plot. It was beautiful.

The idea of the story: 4/5
I liked the setting of the story particularly; it happens to be one of my favorites. The story was well built and the fantastical touches glorified it. However, the idea isn't very new so a point is deducted.

Originality: 4.5/5
Definitely, it is something new that I've seen on wattpad. It's interesting and has its own twists and turns, but it lacks a little atmosphere that you create. Not that the atmosphere isn't created, but it doesn't contain originality, somehow.

Writing Style: 5/5
It's absolutely flawless. I personally love this kind of writing style, because it's more professional and drives you more into the story and makes you feel the life of the character inside.

Grammar & Vocabulary: 9/10
I didn't catch any grammatical errors or sentence structuring problems. In fact, it was nearly perfect. The vocabulary is pretty good as well, however, at some places heavier words than needed were used, or overused vocabulary seemed to be used.

Presentation: 4/5
Both the textual and visual appearance of the book seemed quite nice and pleasing to my eyes. The color combination on the cover, however seemed pretty boring to me. However, apart from that, everything was nice, especially your beautiful use of bold and italics.

Flow & Pace: 4.5/5
Nothing wrong with this. Both the flow and pace seemed quite well to me. Neither too slow nor too fast. It was good enough to create an atmosphere around the scenes. It kept me hooked.

Structure: 4.5/5
Well enough. It was kinda predictable at times though, about what was the next scene is about to be, but of course, there can't be a completely different structure. Not like there weren't unexpected cliffhangers, I overall liked it.

Literary Skills: 9/10
There is a fair use of literary devices, however I think a few idioms or old sayings as such would have enhanced the quality of reading, and perhaps made it more interesting.

Characters: 5/5
I think every character in the story has it's own purpose and beautifully crafted; I could feel the beauty myself. They weren't thrown into the story for a small while and then disappeared. At least, their purpose was defined even though they stayed for a short time. Also, the personalities were well designed and put into the story.

Emotions & Development: 9/10
Since the characters were nearly perfect, there's no doubt that their development was quite beautifully portrayed. The emotions were well conveyed through the words. At some points, very rarely, there were lack in expressions or motives but that didn't really affect the quality reading.

Impression: 4/5
It's impression was quite positive on me; I wanted to read the book in one go. The cover wasn't that great though, but I liked the storyline. Throughout the story, I was pretty much in the character's life.

Reader's Enjoyment: 4/5
It was fairly good, I'd say. The length of the chapters however, is a negative point I'd say. It was quite lengthy. It's be better to split the chapters into parts or rather divide them into new chapters. Other than that, I enjoyed reading the book.

Total: 88/100

Strengths and Weakness: The strength is the plot and writing style for me. I loved the way the story is carried out driving enough curiosity and thrill. The weakness is the color combination in the graphics and cover design, and also the length of the chapters.

Final Note: Overall, I think the book is very good and you definitely did a great job. Considering your experience in writing, you've lived up to the general expectations. Good job! I hope you continue to write more books like these, all the best! I hope my review was helpful and I didn't offend you in any ways. Thank you!
