Title (2/5): "Argent Glass" jumps out at me but I'm still not entirely sure how it relates to the story. Perhaps it's revealed later? My closest guess is that it's the special glass used to construct the dome. Earlier allusions to the reason for this title may be more beneficial. I'm sure you probably added "a GMO adventure novel" to further specify what the story is about but I don't think it's necessary because that's what the summary is for. It makes the title a bit too long.

Cover (5/5): The cover is perfect for the story and encapsulates a sense of adventure. You can definitely tell that's Evan and Andrew on their hike to the blind spot and the dome in the background. It's simple, clean, and gets right to the point.

Summary (8/10): The summary is a bit long. I think you only really need the first two paragraphs to captivate interested readers, the other two seem to give too much away. Other than that, the summary is good and definitely has me interested in reading more! In fact, I had added this book to one of my reading lists prior to you requesting this review because the summary intrigued me haha.

Plot (15/15): There's obviously a lot going on and a lot that I have yet to learn but so far I'm loving the plot! I don't think I've read another book that included killer GMO's, but in this day and age it's definitely something to think about. I like that each chapter is from the perspective of a new character because it allows us to see multiple angles of the story. You also clearly know what you're talking about and/or have done some extensive research because all the scientific information seems very accurate, so I really applaud you on that!

Characters (10/10): The characters are fantastic. You do a great job of fleshing them out and giving us relevant insights into their lives in only a short amount of time. Each chapter teaches us more and more about the characters that helps us to further understand their thoughts, feelings, and actions. I'm living for the relationship between Andrew and Evan. The other relationships that I've seen seem strong as well and hint to bigger things that you'll reveal later in the book. The dialogue feels natural and is very entertaining. I guess the only thing I could say is that I noticed that you don't include many physical descriptions of the characters but honestly I kind of prefer it that way because it makes it easier for the reader to envision themselves in the story when the description of the character is ambiguous.

Organization (5/5): The chapters are longer than most books but your writing is so intriguing that they don't feel like a burden to get through. I didn't find any glaring grammar or spelling issues either. You definitely were thorough with this story and I really appreciate that as a fellow writer!

Overall (45/50): I'm in love with your writing. You have incredible imagery and the story flows so well. The first ten chapters felt like they went by in a blur because I was so engrossed in the story. The only recommendations I have are to shorten the title and to delete the last two paragraphs of your summary. Amazing work and I look forward to reading more!
