Blackstone Academy: The Rouge By DustyMoon96

Reviewer: SilentLover0224

Cover/Title: 10/10

- The cover catches peoples attention, and the title is super interesting. The whole thing is kinda creepy too! Love the mysterious vibes.

-

Blurb: 8/10

- I had to read it a few times to make some sense of it, but it sounds really interesting!

-

First chapter: 10/10

- You made me feel as if I was right there with the characters. I could feel the fear and the adrenaline. You did a wonderful job describing this scene. It really captivates the readers.

-

Grammar/Punctuation: 9/10

- You did really good in that aspect. There were a few sentences that needed a comma instead of a period, I saw that frequently. But otherwise, nothing too major.

-

Vocabulary: 10/10

- You used very good words to replace some of the weak ones, and you made sure to use some good imagery. I love reading good imagery, showing us rather than telling us outright!

-

Plot/Pacing: 10/10

- The plot is well well thought out, and the pacing is definitely worth the read. It's very balanced.

-

Character/Character Development: 9/10

- I feel that a few of your characters needed to be more defined. But they're pretty good. I connected deeply with the characters.

-

Originality: 10/10

- The story kinda gave me the hunger games vibes and a little of the maze runner. It was so well blended that I could tell it was your imagination!Good job!

-

World building: 10/10

- Beautiful descriptions, lovely dialog and super cool characters! Loved it!

-

Imagery: 8/10

- I feel like in some sports you were just a tad too straightforward! But I loved it all the same!

-

Overall: 10/10

- This book was amazing! The world was well built. The characters had flaws, and they were relatable! However, with the survival idea, try not to show them too much in civilization, and more or less out in nature, relying on each other. That way it gives what you are trying to portray. Usually in these kinds of books there are no schools...then again, I DID only read 5 chapters. I'm going to go back and read the rest of this book. It was really good overall! I enjoyed reading it! Good job!
