Leonardo by @Yummychocochick

Hello Yummychocochick!! I've read the first 10 chapters of the book and here are my thoughts.

First impressions:

Title: I really liked the name Leonardo when I first saw it; however the story isn't really about Leonardo it's about Xanthos, which makes it a bit confusing. However, I like it.

Rating: 8/10

Cover: I like the cover, I feel like it's well made and an effort was put in it so, well done.

Rating: 10/10

Summary: You said to "Join the journey of Leonardo" It's not Leonardo's story, yes I understand that Xanthos is the reincarnation of Leonardo but its still not Leo's story.

Rating: 5/10

Technical Issues:

Grammar: You have a lot of grammar and sentence structure mistakes.

Some examples:

"Showed me the locked passport"--> "Password? Or passcode"

Rating: 7/10

Punctuation: You have a lot of punctuation mistakes, you use an insane amount of full stops. I took some screenshots of some parts or examples.

Rating: 3/10

More technical issues:
🌟 "No add a new word old in between" (That's a sentence in one of the chapters, but I have no idea what it meant)

🌟Excess use of "Even" in a lot of wrong places in the sentence and for wrong functions

The Heart of The Book:

Characters: I like the characters, I really root for Bella, and it really hurts to see her go through all this.

Lewis, was a good evil guy that transformed into a good one HOWEVER, the shift from evil to good confused me, cause I didn't get why this would change his idea of Bella.

Xanthos is a really nice name, and I like his character.

Luciano, I don't know where he came from honestly, I don't know, it confuses me. Is he like the same Luciano who was friends with Leonardo? I don't know.

I like how Angelo's name is Ironic cause she has nothing to do with Angels or Kindness or anything but it should be womanly.

Rating: 7/10

Conflict: Haven't really seen a conflict aside from the war waged against Leonardo in the prologue and the conflict between Bella and her family. I think there needs to be more action into it or more inner conflict for example (which is there) but not too obvious.

Rating: 8.5/10

Pace: It's a good pace, in my opinion, I like it.

Rating: 10/10

Emotions: She's an emotional character, but she needs to act more than explain. Let her move her hands through the bruises, let her act numb (like she got used to what happens to her from the family), stuff like that.

Rating: 8.5/10

Chapter Endings: I really like your chapter endings, I felt hooked to the book which is always awesome.

Rating: 9.5/10

Logic: There are 2 parts that really made me question where the logic is..

The first part was the contradiction that Bella showed after her stepmom beat her, she was like her face was bruised, then later in the same page says they don't bruise her in places that are visible so they'd protect their image. So, why is her face bruised?

The second part was the Luciano part, usually the first thing that happens when you see a wolf is running, because they are terrifying. However, Bella just casually stood there telling a wolf she plays ninja-something and communicated with a wolf, no screaming, no worry, no fear... That was pretty illogical to me.

Rating: 8/10

Suggestions/Compliments:

-Stop using "even" in all the sentences.

-Angelo is a guy name so I suggest changing it to like "Angela" or "Angelica"

-Please use more commas and semi-colons

-Focus more on acting the emotions instead of explaining them

-Focus on making stuff logical although it is a werewolf story, they have rules too.

-Well done on the pace, it's really good.

-The prologue was amazing, it gave me vibes of a "different" werewolf story but then it kind of hit me when I knew it wasn't going to be like that. To be honest with you, I had the thought that now Leonardo is going to look for a new mate and I kept debating how that is possible and stuff, but then you introduced new people which was pretty confusing.

-Download "Grammarly keyboard" to help with spelling and grammar mistakes, it could really come in handy sometimes.
