Hello _LadyBex_!! This is my review of your book. KEEP IT UP 😊👏💜

First impressions:

Title: A pretty normal title, it gives an idea about what the book is about, and i love the name Calytrix.

Rating: 10/10

Cover: BEAUTIFUL COVER!! A big fan of the idea, of the font, the colours. It's amazing, so well done to whoever made this cover.

Rating: 10/10

Summary: Well written and gave a good overview of the book i was about to read, but it would be great if you change the last sentence from "in itself" to "on itself"

Rating: 10/10

Technical Issues:

You dont really have much technical issues, but some typos that i saw along the way

Examples in chapter 1:
-One of the things i noticed is the use of "as" because you use it a lot, sometimes you have better words than "as" that could fit the sentence better.

I got some examples from chapter 1 and 2:

Examples from chapter 2:

Rating: 8.5/10

Spelling: Good spelling and really nice word choice that fit the theme

Rating: 10/10

Punctuation: You use many fullstops, but i didnt see it as much of an issue. It didnt mother my reading.

Rating: 9.5/10

The heart of the book:

Character:

Calytrix (as she's the only prominent character in the story): I like the name, it fits the witchy kind of character. I felt like i need to see more emotions of her, but she's a well written character. I feel; however, that she's too insecure for a witch maybe?

Rating: 9/10

Conflict: I like the idea of the journey, but it could be confusing at times; as many things are thrown at her feet out of nowhere.

Rating: 8/10

Pace: I feel like chapters were somewhat long, i got lost at some point.
I also recommend you to end the chapters on good hooks, to keep the readers interested in reading more of it.

Example:
In the first chapter, you could've ended the chapter when the king told the guards to take her to her room. It wouldve been interesting to wait impatiently for what might happen after that.

Rating: 8/10

Emotions: I feel like i need more of her emotions than descriptions, if you know what i mean

Rating: 9/10

Chapter Endings: I'm going to say it again, i felt like i need hooks at the end. Evey chapter you end it with, the journey goes on, the journey gets to a bried stop. We already know she's on a journey, i didnt feel like you needed to tell me that the journey stopped or went on cause your writing is supposed to show me that

Rating: 8/10

Suggestions/Compliments:

-I suggest you focus more on the character's emotions than describing situations.

-I totally suggest hooks at the ending of the chapters

-I also recomment you calling them chapters because novels are usually chapters. BUT you could call them Journeys if you dont want chapters, or just name them like subtitles.

-I LOVE LOVE LOVE the cover, its so beautiful honestly, i completely recommend keeping it.
