Book Title: Silent Vows

Author's Name:  Kaoriwritess 

Cover: 10/10

The way your cover focuses on the clasped hands while everything else is nothing but a blurry background is very appealing. The font style and color matches perfectly with the color scheme and overall the cover is just very eye catching.

Title: 9/10

I like your title, but I'm not quite sure how it ties into the story yet. I'm sure that will become more obvious as the story progresses.

Blurb/Description: 6/10

You introduce your characters in the description and readers can infer based off of that and the title, however there really isn't much information offered about the story itself. What is the conflict? Where does this take place? What do they stand to lose/gain? While the introduction to your characters is lovely, potential readers typically need a little more to go on so that they have an idea of what to expect and therefore make an informed decision as to whether or not this is they type of story for them.

Creativity and originality: 10/10

It looks like you've got an interesting love triangle beginning to bloom and I'm interested to see how it plays out. I can't wait to watch it all play out.

Plot and Flow: 14/20

I'll go into further detail under your writing style section, however I feel that there are issues regarding the flow of your story. The plot is there, but it's like we've sat down to watch a movie and instead of watching the entire thing, we're fast forwarding to our favorite parts. Everything in between those parts is completely lost and forgotten, but I really feel that it could help readers feel more connected to your characters.

For example, with Vivaan, the decision he appears to come to at the beginning of chapter seven? If we were more involved with his interactions with certain people; seeing exactly how they interact when around each other for long periods of time, how they work together, etc. it would be easier to be on the same page as him.

Character Development: 16/20

Following the same train of thought as above, eliminating some of those time gaps, allowing us to see longer, more detailed interactions between characters would go a long way in giving readers insight into your characters.

Writing style: 7/10

You write very well, and you offer your readers the opportunity to feel connected with your characters. One thing I would just like to note is that the story seems to skip straight to all the 'significant' moments, if that makes sense. We don't get to see much of the mundane. For example, Prisha and Vivaan agree to work together, and then they're both flying home. We seem to have skipped how they worked together, how they interacted with each other, and even what they thought of each other (more Prisha than Vivaan on that last one).

I think filling in those gaps of time and allowing us to see more detailed interactions between the two would go a long way.

Grammar, spellings, etc.: 10/10

I always love when more than one language is included and authors offer up the translation. You did very well with editing/proofing your work and I didn't notice any mistakes with the grammar or spelling.

Overall: 82/100

You have some diverse characters and there is clearly more to the back story of each and every one of them, that it's hard not to want to read more. I have high hopes for this story. My main issues is the flow and I think once you're able to master that, Silent Vows will be amazing.

Thank you so much for bringing this story to my attention and giving me the opportunity to check it out!
