Book Title: A Story Told in Verse

Cover: 4/5
Keeping in mind what was agreed upon. I have to say that the cover is attractive yes. And it would draw a reader in. Though the font is a bit distracting.

Title: 5/5
Okay so what came to mind at first was so a story told in verse must be a poem right. A story told in a poem let's read on to find out how the writer did it.

Summary: 3/5
You have the right wording but somehow your choice of words make it a bit hard to read and a reader might pass as if they cannot capture what you're trying to convey.

Grammar/Vocabulary: 13/15
The opening chapter drew me in. From ,"When I look at the night sky"...to " I wonder, is it possible for you to be mine?". It felt as if I was watching someone in love telling a person that they love how they feel. Then you lost me at the second paragraph which appeared a bit choppy where it's written, " I've always admired your leadership, it helps us find our way" I feel that this could have been written better. I love the rhyming of the words they are helping it flow. Second chapter you drew me in again and once again felt for them. Then lost me with the errors but a little editing can fix that. Let me just point out second chapter line 6. Then you drew me in again and I was smiling whilst reading. I have to admit you put in time in reviewing your work.

Use of literary techniques: 8/10
I did note use of literary techniques. And I have to amend you for putting them as they made the book better.

Character Development: 13/15
Well I can't comment much on this as it was mainly based on the voice of the writer. So I couldn't quite tell. Though I would say that I could only guess as it was based on traits rather than appearance.

Emotions Evoked: 14/15
You made me go through a wave of emotions. At first I was feeling happy then all of a sudden I was feeling sad. This shows that I had a connection with the protagonist and could relate to them. Why why do you have to make me sad. I felt sad and I all I could wonder was why did it have to end like that.

Writing Style: 8/10

Plot+Originality: 10/10
I enjoyed the plot and how it was carefully though out. I was flipping onto the next page so quickly as I was enjoying the story flow. From my perspective it was enjoyable.

General Satisfaction: 10/10
I enjoyed reading your book. Your words managed to evoke emotions in me. I felt that I could relate to the protagonist. As if I was the feeling all those emotions.

Total Score: 88/100

Review Note

As someone who has reviewed a book of yours before I have to say you have improved in your writing. Your book shows that editing and time were put into the writing. As mentioned earlier I could relate to the protagonist. Though I could not put a face to the writer. Then there were moments you had me but then lost me due to your choice of words. These would somehow make it a bit choppy and hard to read as I would find myself trying to correct rather than continuing to read. A little editing can make the story flow better. Overall its a good read and would recommend it.

Happy writing :)
