Title

The title 'Starlight' is not very creative. It doesn't really grab my attention like a title should, nor does it make me think of anything either. I'm not really sure as to what the book is about or what it could be about. I'm hoping that the title is somehow related to the book itself. The word itself is related to stars, like a shooting star, I'm guessing, so unless this book is about space or something, I don't see how it could be related to the book.

Cover

The book cover is a simple image of a girl who is laying down and gazing up at the sky in broad daylight so this makes me now think that it is definitely not about space because why would anyone look up at the sky for the purposes of stargazing in broad daylight?

I feel like the book cover may not be necessarily related to the book or plot itself in any way at all, which is a let down. Readers like to have a book cover that shows a bit about the book or hints at what it could be about. The font used is also just a simple font. It's nothing special, but I'll give you credit for using a clear font and making sure that the title is an appropriate size.

Some feedback would be to use an image that is actually relevant to the book. You could try to get a book cover created by someone as there are many graphic shops available on Wattpad. Think about the colours you want used on your book cover along with the themes and mood of the story. Getting this across on the book cover will help guide your reader to understanding what the story is about.

When choosing a font for the book cover, think about what colour and style is best suited with the background, and ensure that the font is clear and a decent size.

Blurb

The blurb is interesting. We're introduced to Kacie, who is the main character, and told how she has been passed form one home to another until she is finally adopted and enters a new life. Little did I know that Kacie would be adopted by two fathers who are a superhero and a villain. I really didn't see that coming.

I can't lie and say that the blurb appeals to me because I'm not a very big fan of the whole superhero and villain thing. I feel like it's going to turn into some kind of fanfic book.

I will give credit to you for including some diversity in your book, though. I like how she's not adopted by just a 'normal' couple: male and female. The only feedback I have is to ensure that you're not including too many details in the blurb as you don't want to spoil it for the reader while trying to keep it interesting.

First Chapter

The first chapter is amusing, if anything, as it seems like all the characters are having some kind of family moment while, at the same time, trying to destroy each other. It's like, one minute they're punching someone, and then asking them if they're alright.

It is a confusing chapter, though. I was lost and had no idea why they were even fighting in the first place. The chapter itself is quite long, but I think this is because it was packed full of action, too much for my liking if I'm being honest.

Some feedback would be to try and make the chapter a little shorter. Maybe don't include too many details or too much action, as the first chapter of a book is supposed to lure the readers in and not try to scare them away. I feel like the latter rings truer in this case.

Plot / Theme

The plot of this book is developed at a reasonable pace, I'd say. However, I cannot say that I enjoyed. The whole time, I was reading a book about a young girl who's trapped in this world full of superheroes and villains. It's a typical cliche book about a girl juggling school and a secret life that no one knows that she has.

I'm not quite sure what the themes are in this book because you have a book cover that is not related to the book, and an entirely different plot, so I don't really know what to think.

The idea of the book also does not seem very original. I would have liked it if you added your own elements and twists and turns because I feel like everything I was predicting for the book was happening. You want the readers to wonder so that they remain interested in the narrative.

Writing

Your writing is fairly standard for a book about superheroes and villains. I feel like you've included bits of action when you needed to, and I can see that you are good at writing the action scenes; you have put more effort into it then.

You have also used descriptive language consistently throughout all of the chapters. I found it enjoyable to read your sentences as they were not basic and had vocabulary which stood out.

Some feedback would be to check your spelling and grammar, as this is vital with every book, of course. You could try exploring different writing styles as well.

Characters

Kacie seems like a character who is very determined and does not give up even when she needs to. It's as though she is trying to prove everyone who doubts her wrong. You did a good job at developing her character. She seems more confident with herself and what she's doing at the end compared to at the beginning.

On the other hand, I do feel like it was a very action-packed book, so I don't feel like I got to know Kacie as a character properly. I wanted to know about her past, her feelings, what she's been through, and what she wants, but I don't feel like I got any of that from the book.

Some feedback would be to try and work on that area and show what she has been through. This could be through use of flashbacks and memories.

Overall Impression

The book is not something that I would typically read at all because I'm not very into the superhero world unless it's Avengers, of course, because that is on another level. I feel like it was a little childish. However, the book may be suitable for your audience depending on the book's age demographic.

I can't say that I personally enjoyed reading the book, because I did not, but that does not mean that others won't enjoy it; everyone has different views and opinions. I am hoping that you can still take my feedback. I would recommend this book for anyone who is into the world of superheroes and villains because this book is packed full of action.
