Review: So far from what I've read in changing of the tune is that the story starts with a couple who were forced to marry each other and were expected to have a child together but they were against it and made the decision to adopt a child who is called Neethi but she is relentlessly being bullied by her cousin Megha, however, she can't speak out about it because her parents love Megha more than they love her, which is unfair as no one deserves to get treated that way and the guy who sent Neethi's friend a love letter and his friends decide to prank Neethi by putting a spider in her bag. It doesn't work because she's not scared of spiders. The guy who sent her friend a love letter sees her tutoring kids and thinks she looks pretty.

I feel a lot of sympathy towards Neethi, I can't imagine how hard family life is for her, to have parents who don't love her at all and constantly shower her cousin with love instead even though she bullies and beats Neethi up. I really do feel sorry for her, she's a character who's had a hard life. The language is good and there aren't any grammar/ spelling mistakes but the way you've written it is that it's a bit jumbled up and long, try shortening it a bit otherwise your readers might get bored of reading it. You should also try varying your sentence structures, you mainly use simple sentences in big blocks which makes it hard to read - if you vary it a little more it will be more enjoyable for readers. But other than that, this was a good book. I really enjoyed the storyline. You have the potential for writing stories but you should probably practice and try using other books as examples on how to improve your structuring.

Review: SWARSANGINI is a book about a man named Swar whose dad wants to marry him off to a girl who is simple but beautiful and has a pure heart just like Swar and to be honest with you that's all I could understand from the book, I'm so sorry to say this but the plot was a bit confusing and I didn't know what was happening, I'm sorry to say this. Swar is a playboy who refused to marry the girl his father chose for him, he's also very into photography which can be shown when he tries to take a picture of birds but scares them away because of the click of his camera, Swar also tends to talk to himself a lot, and to also sneak out as well, so a little bit of a rebel as well.

The cover of your book is stunning and beautiful, I also like the fact that both the main characters are strong individuals. But I have some concerns with the grammar, for example in the blurb your sentence, "Swar, a Rich, Mischievous, cool playboy types, is a brat with Carefree Attitude but has a genuine heart" I think the blurb would be more interesting if it instead said, "Swar, a rich, mischievous and cool playboy, he's a brat with a carefree attitude but does have a genuine heart". This story has a promising storyline and could have some changes to make it even better, so please try editing it as every book will have some issues at first which could be cleared with editing and a bit of rewriting in some parts. Overall your book is really good and just needs some improvements...

Review: THE IMPERFECT HABIBI is about a girl named Parisa Azeez who dreams of leaving her homeland and going to uni there to achieve higher education, however, her parents won't allow her to as they want to marry her off to a man named Cyrus Hamid who coincidentally lives in New Zealand which is where Parisa wants to go to for uni, she realized to herself that this man can be her golden ticket to making her dreams come true.

The main character Parisa, I really am a fan of how you don't portray her as some angel-like, perfect person, you gave her flaws like a real person, as every human has their imperfections, I really like her mindset of not giving up what she wants and doing whatever it takes to get there, I admire how you created a realistic person that we can relate to, where we shouldn't ever give up our dreams, and although some may see her as being selfish, I see it as her making the best of her situation.

I also like that when Cyrus and Parisa first meet, we get to see how it went from both their perspectives on how they thought and felt of it, I also like your inclusion of definitions so that I don't have to constantly google the word for the meaning. I cannot wait for you to update the story, I wanna see the continuation of Cyrus and Parisa and whether his opinion of her changes.

Review: I thought that this was a very interesting story, this book is about a man named Hiram Nightingale who is captain of the ship Scylla are tasked with tracking down the Ulysses, another ship whose crew revolted against the higher authority, no one knows if any of the crew are left alive or what they plan to do with the ship. However while on this perilous journey, Nightingale encounters problems such as his new crew catching a disease and disliking him and his first lieutenant, Arthur Courtney showing displeasure of losing out on command.

The main character of this book is Hiram Nightingale, who is very well written, he's a man who is not proud of all that he is achieved, he is also a closed-off man which is probably due to his past but yet he's a nice, friendly guy as well, he's such a likable character. A little thing I really liked was that you gave each character their own voice and distinctive personality, giving them. You are very good at setting a scene, your skills in conveying feelings and imagery of a setting are remarkable. Whilst I was reading this story I was happy that you got historical dates/facts correct. However, I cannot help thinking that you could've added more action into the story as I felt like I've read a lot of Nightingale's thoughts but not of what is happening outside his mind. Even though I have not read all of the chapters of this book yet, I will start too soon, this was such a fascinating historical inspiration.

Review: This story is about a young woman named Juniper Stephens who wakes up in a hospital bed and was diagnosed with amnesia and the only thing she can remember is that she was on a phone call with her friend Ethan, who takes her in and helps her remember her lost memories and to start a new life, one day she writes a letter to a prison pen pal who she surprisingly creates a bond with and is the answer to recovering her lost memories.

Juniper is the main character and I can't imagine how frustrated she is about suffering from dementia, memories are what makes someone who they are, without them you'll be unsure and lost, day to day life must be difficult for her and so confusing, I feel such sympathy for her, you created a very strong, respectable main character, I actually really admire her, you've created a very likable character. I absolutely adore your descriptions you very clearly show how Juniper is feeling and what her thoughts are. It's clear that you've done a lot of research on amnesia, so you've portrayed it really well. A little thing I noticed is that you repeat a lot of the information over and over again, which is not necessarily a bad thing as you would want the reader to get a good understanding, however, sometimes it gets a bit dull. So far, I've been immersed in the story and will for sure be reading more of it, I really like the storyline.
