I Love The Book. I Would Have Given It A Perfect Score But The Description Of The Story Didn't Have That Much Originality And Creativity. The Book Had A Lot Of Fantasy & Action. It Had Creativity And Originality On The Book. Overall I Love The Book

Wow! Really great job on prose. I really felt I was there. Your descriptions are amazing. The feelings and emotion of the woman was well emphasize and delivered. My suggestion is to change the cover, make it more heartbreaking to match the content.
