Dreams of Tomorrow
Title: Dreams of Tomorrow
Author: awesome_author28
Synopsis:
Alexa Novelle has been through a lot. She lives in a parallel universe to Earth, where the planet is in a nuclear war. Scientists start sending people to the Trappist one solar system. Through frozen animation. But in order to get to paradise, she has to survive her dreams and nightmares. Can she do it?
My opinions:
- Only 5 chapters (including the prologue) have been updated so far so the plot line isn't very clear yet but I did notice something while reading through it. Some of the events in the book happened way too fast. Perhaps, the speed at which the events occur could be slowed down a little bit? I feel like if the events are slowed down, the build up of tension in reaching the event's climax would be better.
- Overall, the plot line so far is good. It's very direct so readers won't get confused. It's engaging enough to keep readers interested. I find it really intriguing as to how the future state of the Earth in the book was something that could possibly happen in real life and I like it was linked to the current state of the Earth (all the global warming, political issues and all that crap).
I also enjoyed how sufficient yet insufficient (if you know what I mean) information was being given. Sufficient details were given to allow the reader to get an overall view of the story. When I say yet insufficient, I meant that the lack of descriptions were great because it keeps the readers on their toes which helps to build up the anticipation towards the scene climax or the end of the scene.
- I did not see much character development but that could be because only a few chapters are up so far. Alexa's emotions were not portrayed clearly as some of her emotions in certain scenes contradicted with her actions (I'm talking about the part where the symbolic bloody fingerprints on the picture thing). Perhaps more information could be added to show how Alexa's personality changed when she went to visit her siblings.
- I didn't spot many grammar and typographical errors though you might need to be careful when using past or present tense. You tend to start with past tense but unknowingly shift to present tense which could confuse readers. It is a common mistake done by writers (including myself) so you don't need to worry so much about it. Just be careful when you switch from past to present tense or vice versa.
Star Rating:
☆☆☆
Recommendations:
I only have 3 stars as it only has a few chapters up so much of the plot line has yet to be revealed. It is (DEFINITELY) an awesome book and I recommend you all to go read it! I do not usually like reading books where the settings are based on a futuristic Earth but this is another book that is slowly dragging me into the science fiction/futuristic Earth world.
Thank you for requesting awesome_author28! It was a good read. :)
