REVIEW:
Cover:
In contrast to the story, your cover is pretty basic and it does not peek any interest. It gives off an amateur feeling so I would suggest you to work on it. The background can be of so many elements (judging from your three chapters); prison, war, fights, castle, princess or prince, forest life or so much more. These are the components that would help you attract the readers and give them a little insight of their story.
Description:
I read your description and I was like:
Lol, I'm sorry but I could've explain it otherwise.
Character development:
I have stumbled upon only two characters who have their backstory explained and I must say, they are so well developed.
It took me only few minutes to fall in love with Marc. His personality was intriguingly genuine. His perceptions, notions and actions are all evidently aligned. He was predictable character with unpredictable reaction. His backstory acted fair to his actions and his hurt. I felt connected with him and when you explained his backstory, it maximised the effect and cleared out the reason behind his hurt. He seemed strong and pure at the same time. This is very hard to achieve, specially when you have to explain the backstory, the rules, the event to come as well as all the related emotions.
Next, Will. He is a character that can be so heartbreakingly authentic. The way you explained his story by two point of views was very well done. It helped me picture him pretty well. Also his physique plays fair to his story. I know it might not seem like a big element but there are so many writers out there who don't keep things like theses in mind but you did and I was so happy.
Plot:
I loved your plot specially your first chapter. From the very first line to the last one, I was so engrossed and kept wanting for more mainly because you explained everything bit by bit not throwing all the information in one big piece of words.
The pace of your story was perfect. Not too slow, nor too fast—a sign of good story.
The main thing I liked about it is that your descriptions were limited and thoughtful. They helped us connecting with the characters and not just characters, but the world also.
The bad parts and the rules were all a part of the characters' emotions and it really urged me to read and know more.
Grammar:
Your grammar was on point. You knew how to use the words and mould them to be in your style. The punctuations, tenses, dialogues and sentence formation is pretty good.
Quality:
Like I said before, your opening of the novel was fascinating and catchy. I was immediately in Marc's world. Your chapters give off a professional look, with the perfect chopping of paragraphs and a dramatic and exciting endings.
Overall, I really loved your story. It was so nice to read a story full of drama and mystery and passion. If it would be a full book, I wouldn't even think twice and read it all in just one night.
No kidding.
Thank you for writing such an amazing story.
