First off, the cover!!!

Main Image - Amazingly detailed, seems to be a tense mood, but I wonder... If it had a colder hue, I think it would be really great... A good border is never bad as well... 8.87/10

Title - Shadow Bands... Intriguing and attractive to new readers...
The font is a bit off though, if you move it a bit away from the model's face and maybe try a more natural colour that goes along with the cover, like Red or Green, with a neon effect and some tiny marks around the title. It would be perfect!
7.65/10

Description!!

First of all, amazing job with the description! It's very important to attracting readers as it acts like a trailer for the book. Just to be critical tho, maybe skip a line where the sentence starts with However, and before these words - Creating unlikely allies - Maybe add a comma and lowercase Creating ... 9.03/10

Now late dwell into the story!!

First Impressions on Chapter 1 - Amazing indeed, got me to read more! I won't spoil much for readers but it's totally amazing! 10/10!!

Overall writing from the 1st 3 chapters: The detail is amazing, the world-building seems to get only better and I really now admire your writing. But on the 3rd chapter, the paragraphs became overwhelmingly long.

I can tolerate that but it would be advised to separate the paragraphs to make it a bit shorter. Don't leave out any details, and keep on the good work!  9.04/10

So in the end... The total becomes.. 44.59/50.

Rate from 5 - 4.45/5 - Definitely recommend you to read it if you're a fan of fantasy ☺️❤️

I'll be reading it more when I have time, thank you for letting me review your book! 😁

It's been such a great experience reading your book and I hope to find more just as, or even more, interesting books out there.
