Blurb: ⅖
It's just a line which doesn't give any idea about the story plot and theme. I don't think it's an ideal blurb. An ideal blurb is a little sneak peek in the plot which burns the readers and makes them eager to read the story. I didn't feel excited and eager to know more about the book after reading the blurb. You should use an interesting encounter, an interesting exchange of the dialogues as well as any scene from the book which you think might spike the reader's interest.
Cover: ⅗
It's simple. There is no work or effort being done on it. It is catchy enough for me. However I think it matches the story theme well. But the title can be enlarged a bit as well and those subtitles are not visible. They are unable to be read. I would suggest you make them a bit large with bold text.
Title: ⅗
First of all, it was difficult for me to pronounce. But I got it soon. This word was not unknown to me but I didn't get why you chose this word as a title for your book. However, as I read further, I think it matches the story line well and describes the plot.
1st impression:
If we count it from the title, blurb and cover, then it was fifty fifty. I was excited to read the story after reading the title but to be honest, I didn't feel that excitement after I read the blurb.
After this, in the first chapter you said 'a century ago.' But you still showed the modern era with mobile phones in each person's hand and cars everywhere. The living style of the characters was not according to the time set you announced.
And if it was this time era and you were writing it from the future century, then I think you should have shown the technology as we don't know just how much technology and machines we will get and where we will be after 104 years.
This part confused me so much.
Reader's interaction: 7/10
It is obvious that this story has less readers but they are interacting with your story and sharing their thoughts well.
Plot: 7/10
The plot has gap holes in it. Such as that timing era. It confused me. After this the past you showed which dealt with witches, what was that era? Was it 104 years ago or was it now? Time set in your story gave me a lot of confusion. You should check it out and balance the time periods
But your plot is unique which I admit. You wrote the basic standards of life of the past, the way people wwe treated back then,their reactions and behaviors, I loved it all.
Good job.
Twist: 6/10
First of all,the vampire theme based stories don't have many twists. Everyone can depict that the main character, frequently the male one, is a vampire. In the beginning of the story till 10+ chapters I just read it with borement. I didn't think if this book would have any twist or not. But after you reveal the past tragedies, the revelation took me off guard. I didn't think something like that would have happened.
Grammar: 3/10
Your grammar is not bad but you have plenty of phrase mistakes, wrong usage of prepositions and sometimes overuse of them. Phrasal mistakes include:
You wrote "I was panicking on inside" But this phrase is wrong. You should have written "I was panicking inside" remember, we don't use prepositions after emotions or feelings. Such as this sentence is wrong if we write "I was hurting on inside" instead it would be "I was hurting inside".
Then you used the phrase "Put shoes on my feet" no, it should be "put shoes in my feet".
There are plenty of errors all over the book.
After this there are either misuses or overuse of "," (comma). Like in this sentence you wrote "Talk, or…." Keep in mind that we don't use commas after "or." Same thing happened many times as well as in other sentences as well. Such as you used a comma both after and before "And".
To avoid this all, you should practice with sentence structure. Read usage of prepositions and word use.
Emotions: 5/10
I gave this category half marks because sometimes it was so balanced that it amazed me but sometimes, especially in the start, as I guess it was your start of the books so you didn't describe their emotions and feelings much. As I read further, it was obvious that you improved and did much better.
Character's development: 8/10
Talking about this factor, I can't say you failed. Instead you took slow burn and really described character's, portrayed their behaviors well. I don't have any objection with this factor, I could see character's development as the story carried on. It's still ongoing so there is still much to come.
Writing style: 6/10
Grammar, phrase use, sentence structure, emotions and depiction affects the writing style. It also makes the story either interesting or cliche. You managed to get through the emotions and character's development part, but you were not pretty good with the grammar and vocabulary part. Hope you can work on it and hope to see a better version in future. Good luck.
Overall: 7/10
Total: 59/100
