22. The Compensation
I loved the idea behind this story, and am a sucker for Historical Fiction. I was pleased with the way the characters were well thought-out and the storyline clearly was as well. Yet, I think it could have been executed much, much better.
The first thing that I noticed about the book was that the 'C' in 'Compensation' should be capital. Of course, that did not ruin my opinion of the book, and I opened it to the prologue. The thing that stood out to me most was that the grammar was completely off. I liked the idea of having multiple dialogues showing how the Princess is seen by the other characters, but the incorrect punctuation and, as I said before, the grammar completely distracted readers from the main point.
The idea behind the first chapter- a prince hunting a deer which the princess saves- was quite nice and reminded me of the 'Ramayan', but her teaching the deer to escape is something that I do not deem probable. Instead, it would have made more sense had she been using a bow and arrow to deflect the arrows of the prince secretly in order to save the deer.
Another thing that I would really advise against would be the multiple exclamation marks. It makes the book look like a cliche Teen Fiction on Wattpad, and is definitely not suitable for a serious and beautiful genre like Historical Fiction.
Nevertheless, I would say keep trying and editing, and if you need some references of authors that might be able to help you, let me know.
Final Rating: 6/10
