As you all know, To Steal the Heart of a Thief, aka TSTHOAT, is my main 2015 watty award entry. Last year, TTTDU was my entry. But this time...

I will not settle for second place.

We must go big or go home! :D I am aiming for first place this time, and I'm even more determined to earn it than I was last year!

But, in order to do that, I need your help. All of you.

I need some serious feedback. If you guys could comment here some of your opinions or answers to the following questions, that would help me out so much! I really, really want to make this book fantastic enough to win first place. It's my best work so far, and I want to make it spectacular.

• What about TSTHOAT do you like?
• Is there anything you legitimately don't like about the book that is not shipping related?
• What aspects of TSTHOAT make it a good book?
• What keeps you all so eager to read the next chapter as soon as it comes out? (In other words, what makes you want to keep reading it?)
• Are the characters realistic? As in can you relate to any of them at all?
• Does the book keep you guessing when it comes to the huge, insanely confusing mystery aspect of the book?
• The romance. Be honest, is it good? I try ;-; I really do. I don't do all that sappy romance bullshit, so I try to do realistic, relatable love/hate relationships that go through their rough patches. Life isn't a fairy tale, you know?

I am willing to take any criticism here, good or bad. Unless it's about my writing format. Or if it's a dumb rant pertaining to who Rena ends up with or some bullshit like that. You guys get the gist of it...

Anyways...

Please, guys... I'm begging you for feedback and criticism. I really, really want to make TSTHOAT the best book I've ever written, and I can't do that without your help.
