Title

The title for this book is nothing too fancy. I mean, all in all, it's a very simple title: God among Gods.

Cover

The cover is not very attractive due to the colours mainly: black and grey are all I see, and it is very simple. I feel like even if it had a bit of colour on it, like just the title and the image, it would be an attractive, simple cover, however, that is not the case.

Blurb

I definitely like the blurb for your book because it's not too long nor too short. You've included some information but not too much to spoil it for the reader which is a good thing. I like how you've included a line from the book at the end as well. The blurb did interest me as I wanted to actually read the book after I read the blurb.

First Chapter

The first chapter was interesting. I like how it opens up with a conversation between the friends, and the conversation is also related to what's happening. You're also giving us small bits of information about the characters at the same time, slowly introducing them to the reader.

As a reader, I'm shown into what the main character is thinking, and I realised that his thoughts are portrayed through his actions. The first chapter had me hooked as I wanted to carry on reading, especially with the ending you left it at, so you've done a good job.

Plot / Theme

The plot was moving at a reasonable pace throughout the rest of the chapters. I like how Matthew began to meet the rest of the gods and goddesses throughout the book. There were various themes throughout the book: a bit of adventure as Matthew gets to explore and learn more about himself, but mystery at the same time because as a reader, I'm trying to consider who Matthew now is and what kind of powers he may possess. It definitely had me thinking about it all.

Writing

Your writing style is somewhat similar to my own. You included conversations between the characters and information about them as well as including the thoughts of the main character. This made me enjoy reading your book as I wasn't being given too much or too little information, and the dialogue between the characters was also funny.

Characters

I love how Matthew is portrayed throughout the book because he's a very likeable character who has a serious side and a funny side, which you get to see when he is finding out more about himself from Yuki. However, I feel like it would be better if Matthew takes action based on his thoughts instead of you just telling the readers how he's feeling.

My favourite character is Yuki, though, because she's portrayed as this really funny and childish character when she's supposed to be the Goddess of water and her comments and comebacks with the other characters are great. Best part is how Matthew and Yuki both manage to let Jasper go and then realise he's tricked them.

Overall Impression

This is a book that I thoroughly enjoyed reading due to the plot development and the characters as well. The character development plays a big part here because the way they are portrayed makes the reader like them and I am able to see more of their personality throughout the book. The only thing I would say you need to improve is ensuring consistency within all chapters, building the plot more and maybe try to evoke some emotions as you want the reader to be able to feel what the character is feeling.
