CHAPTERS READ: 12

Cover and Title: 3.5/5

The cover of the book is quite pleasing with a very interesting theme. The font usage can be better but does its job nonetheless. The choice of color is good but instead of something so light and pastel, a more vibrant or dark color scheme would be a fitting choice in regards to the theme of the story.

The title is kind of uninteresting and doesn't really captivate a reader for it is so simple yet not so catchy. It is rather stereotypical than creative. Since the plot revolves around oblivion and it's games as well as some one named Phantom, it would be more appropriate to create a title out of them.

Eg: Tracing The Phantom

The Days Of Oblivion

God Or Phantom

These are a few suggestions of mine but I believe you have the ability to come up with something better.

Blurb: 2.5/5

The opening of the blurb is was very captivating. But it was rather short and didn't really met the standard for it to be called a blurb. Those were just loose lines, a little more context somehow would do wonders

Plot and Structure: 8.5/10

The plot and idea was mind blowing. The total concept was appealing in every aspect and has a great potential for it to expanded. The context and explanation regarding oblivion is lax which is a factor that might confuse the readers to a great extent. For eg. I was confused as to how oblivion occurred, like did it occur at anytime or any place abruptly or was there a pattern? Moreover, when they suddenly went under oblivion how do the people around them not react immediately? Are they so unaware? These were the doubts I had all throughout. Structurally, it wasn't a problem but could've been better.

Character development: 2.5/5

April and Tyler's personality as well as their goals are quite perfectly done. But the lack of proper character introduction has made a great negative impact about them. A bit more information into their background before directly coming to the actual story will help enhance these characters and their characteristics more.

Grammar and Vocabulary: 3.5/5

Grammar was good but there were occasional grammatical errors and punctuation mistakes which rather diminished the quality of the story. A thorough proof reading can eliminate these. Vocabulary was nice and easy on mind. So there's not much problem in this case.

Overall enjoyment: 9/10

I was so engrossed all the while. A very chilling yet thrilling story! One that will leave you at your wits end, but in a positive way. It has a good potential that is yet to be discovered. Waiting for what is yet to come!

Total: 29.5/40
