Book: A Whimsical At Mussoorie
Author: Confused_Soul_Kriya
Chapters read: 7/7
Genre: Short Story/General Fiction
Book Status: Completed
Title(4/5)
The title is simple and effortless. It is eye catchy and matches the theme of the story quite well. The only problem is the length of the title. But keeping that aside, the title is really very interesting.
Cover (2.5/5)
The cover is okay-ish. The use of mountain background gives the mussorie vibes, no doubt. But it is very bland. Especially the font used. It could be more "fun" and a bit more bigger.
Book Description (4/5)
The book description is great. Very smartly penned and presented. The contrasting sentences describing each other is a great idea and catches your interest immediately. Although it does have a bit of problem too. "They had similarities between them, and differences too," A great start. A fire of curiousity ignites withing you. "Betrayed by the people they loved the most- their love interests." And just like that the fire extinguishes. The sentence structuring is a bit off in this one. You should remove "-their love interests." Then it would look much better. And the very last sentence "Love- too early- but if they meet again, a chance to fling?" Does not makes sense to me. The wording is really over the place in this one. Also please remove the PS part from it, let it be inside the book. Bring the notes and credits (if in future) too the bottom. But a great work in this area.
Prologue (3.5/5)
The prologue is nice. Their lives right now and a few flash backs scenes together gathers attention and sparks interest. Although there are a few contradicting things in the prologue, which one would notice with very focused reading. Mishka feels bad for Anurag, she feels sad to break him. And then a few paragraphs later it is revealed that she was with him for his money. These contradicting does not settles well at all. If she really felt bad for him, then she would have never deceived him for money. So might wanna look after this. Also the credits to google and Bluestar Drops can be given at the end in the author's note. Otherwise it disrupts the follow of it. Altogether a good effort in the intro. Does not disappoints at all.
Grammar (7/10)
Your grammar and writing style is good. Riveting and absorbing at times too. Although I feel that the scenes can be described a bit more. Emotions are given a great space in the plot and I truly like it. But the transition between too scenes can be a bit more smooth. The vocabulary used is very simple and light hearted. It is engaging and nicely depicted. Although I would suggest to edit the book once thoroughly, since there are gramatical mistakes at places, but other than that your grammar is pretty on point.
Plot (8/10)
The plot is fresh and yet at the same time not new for me. Although this is the first time I am reading about Indian characters in such a setting. Sometimes in life we meet people who are not meant to stay in our life, but they leave a big impact. That to me was Anurag and Prerna in this story. Two peas in a pod. So similar with their pains but so different with their ways of handling it. Every scene was beautifully crafted. Each one of them had a soul of their own. The most little-est of the things had the greatest importance. Chapter-5: Broken Souls is my favorite. When they exchanged that pen and bracelet, I love that scene. Chef's kiss. Also Anurag making a portrait of Prerna and she writing a book on him. Beautifully etched and potrayed. The plot deals with an intense topic in a very light hearted way. Each chapter is a lesson in itself. A heartwarming feeling arises in you once you read it. And I love the ending. I can go on till lengths about it. The ending is not sad, nor is it happy. It leaves us with questions and a forever memory of the characters. Something which only a author who writes from heart can do. It is rough and unedited, no doubt, but that does not hinders with what you are trying to deliver to the readers.
Character Development (4.5/5)
One of the most beautiful character arcs ever. From two beautifully broken souls to two people who moved on, by themselves. It was a battle they hadn't asked for. But it became a battle they won. Excuse my philosophical self. I love there development. From Prerna being a girl finding a Vikram in every guy to finding the right guy for herself, she had come a long way. And Anurag. A guy who thought that each girl was Mishka developed into someone who couldn't look at anyone except Prerna. I really like how flawed and relatable each character is. Prerna not believing in the insitution of marriage is a very 20th century thinking with which a lot of people connect with. And Anurag finally following his dream of becoming a portraistist was a very heart warming change. Can I take this as a moment to say that I really like Mishka and Vikram's character. They weren't completely wrong their place. They aimed for their happiness. And it takes guts to be selfish for our own happiness. They weren't perfect. No one is. And that is why their character is really relatable. All in all you have a great ensemble of characters. One which you should be really proud of.
Flow of the Story (3/5)
The flow to me is very off at places. The scenes can be described a bit more. In this way the transition from one setting to the other would be more smooth and the reading would be a much better expereince. It isn't too fast but it can be a bit more slow. Other than that everything is pretty much good.
Creativity (4/5)
As I said before the plot is new and at the same old to me. It had the pieces of you in it and that's what makes it more special.
Your interest based on the contest (5/5)
I did not felt bored or forced to read it for even a second. It was nice to read a story about two unconvetionally beautiful people.
Overall Impression (7/10)
I really love the book. It is heart touching and very beautiful. There are few areas you need to work in: the cover, obviously. Then the grammar. The book needs to be edited. The description. The scenes can be a bit more described. And last the flow. It can be a bit more smooth. But keeping these aside, I truly enjoyed the book. I felt in love with the characters, even if they might not have fallen in love with each other. Who knows?
