A Bit About the Author:

ellieerose_ is a Watty award-winning writer who enjoys bubble tea, travelling (especially to Germany), historical fiction books, violin, and swing dancing. Her motivation to write is: "I write to inspire."

Title:

It honestly gets me thinking of Orinoco Flow with the phrase sail away, which is the wrong vibes. But it actually works as a title aside from my strange quirks, haha. 

Cover:

I love your cover. It's so bright and cheerful and makes me think of those old cloth-bound hardcover books on old books. I love it. I would only like for the author's name to be more visible. 

Blurb:

I like your blurb. It's short, sweet, and to the point. But there's a few grammatical mistakes. For instance, second paragraph last line, there is no comma needed after Emma. And the last sentence should be: "While the families try to help Martha find her voice, Martha realizes that the only way to sail towards her family is to sail away from her silence." 

The Good:

Though your style of writing this book was particularly unique, I loved the way the characters and world were portrayed. Kudos for that. There's only a small window in which to see and only one limited perspective, but it was very well done and I loved reading it. Plus it was very short so it didn't take me long to get through it at all. 

The Bad:

I literally don't have any complaints except one or two typos here and there that I pointed out. That and the fact there were sketches to go with this book. xD It seems like the book to need sketches. 

What the Reader Thought:

Like I said in my last comment, this story is so sweet and pure and wholesome. Though brief because it's just letters to her father who's dead, the characterization, the struggles and feelings were very well done and I loved getting to see the little glimpses of Martha and her mind in this story. Plus it was beautiful to see her struggle overcome in the end. Because it was so short, I don't have much to say except I really loved this story. It was so sweet and wholesome. 

Go read it, y'all. It'll maybe take 10 minutes max to get through it. And it's beautiful. 

Score: 10/10
