Title

The title is cool, short, sweet, and simple. It makes me think of something maybe set in the Middle Ages, possibly to do with magic.

Cover

The cover looks interesting, although I admit that I totally judge a book by its cover, and this is just not something I would really look twice at; it's nothing too special, and it is kinda plain. I like that it looks sort of like a notebook, but some mor intricate detail would be nice to add in to it.

Description

The description has a few grammatical errors, and I think it is missing a word. It needs more added to it. For example, it said something about the mc not being able to imagine himself doing anything other than dragon-chasing. More needs to be added to that, "why cant he imagine himself doing anything else?" obviously its because he either loves what he's doing or no one else can do the job and he feels like its his duty, but you have to add something explaining why he does what he does.

Nothing too long, and it can be pretty vague because thats what draws people in I think, along with the plot and everything else. I do think you might be better rethinking it though.

Beginning

The beginning of the book was interesting, but a little dull. I didn't really find myself too invested in what would happen to the characters next, but the world set-up is definitely very intriguing. The mc isn't described very much at first, but then halfway through the second chapter, I found out he was half-goat, which I think is a crucial piece of information that could do with being mentioned earlier on, as it changed my entire image of how he looks.

I will note however that fantasy is not my favourite genre, and I wouldn't normally read a book like this, so this may be a matter of opinion.

Plot

The plot of the book so far seems very unusual to me. If I'm honest, I don't really know where it's going. There was a mention of a necromancer in the description, but I haven't seen anything further than that about him.

I like how the world has all been set up, and how different aspects of it have been introduced and explored as Ferrin goes about his day. I'd say it's rather well done, just be sure to keep up a high level of detail and description.

Characters

The way the characters of Ferrin and Volo are introduced is very nicely done I'd say. I'd like to see more of their backstories though, maybe spread throughout the book, and more description of what they look like, I think that would help with their characterisation overall.

Overall Impression

My first impression when starting this book wasn't great to be completely honest. The title didn't give away what the story had to offer, the cover did a better job at that, but it wasn't anything special. The description for Fyre is mediocre at best, but it does a good job of hooking the reader.

     All that aside, I really did enjoy reading this story, I loved the writing style and the editing was really good. I didn't notice any particularly annoying grammar errors, so that's always a plus. A couple chapters in though, it was just casually mentioned that the main character was half-goat half-human, that was kind of confusing since there was no previous mention of it.

     I would 100% recommend this to anyone who enjoys the more fantasy side of Wattpad.

Im starting to really like the book now, is that weird? I guess after the first few chapters it starts to hook the reader. My initial distaste could just be because this isn't the type of book I usually read and I wasn't overly invested at the beginning?
