Book Title: The Plan 
Author: angiexvi

Cover: 8/10

I liked the cover of your book. It was simple, mysterious and elegant. But I think it is more suitable for fantasy than Historical fiction. As it is a story from the 19th century, the cover should be more classic and should revolve around the plot. It will give a clear idea to the readers about the genre and setting.

Title: 6/10

The title is very general and doesn't really give an idea about the story or the theme. 'The plan' can be a title for romance or mystery or horror or science fiction or fantasy. Though it piques the interest of the readers, it is still confusing for the readers. Moreover, you can find a lot of books with the same title in wattpad. Try to play with words to come up with a unique title for your book.

Blurb/Description: 8/10

The blurb is good and piques the interest of the readers. It gives us enough information to start the story with but I feel like it is kinda off from the main plot. It may be confusing for many readers. But I loved how well written your blurb was.

Creativity and originality : 9/10

I liked the fact that you decided to talk about how oppressive the society used to be for women and it still is. The characters were so diverse. The sentence structure and the words you used were so apt and took us back to the time. It wasn't really difficult to understand either, which is a great thing.

Plot and Flow: 17/20

The plot was really great and unique but the flow could've been better. Because at places I feel like it's kinda rushed. I didn't really get to understand a few characters. It's kinda a haze and I had to understand with the minimal description that was given. So, I would suggest you take a minute to delve about their relationship or the surroundings.

Character Development: 8/10

I love Anastasia and Casper. I loved how their characters are well explained and how situations make them change. But there isn't enough characterization about their love interest Henry or Leopold. It's hard to imagine them or the bond between them. On the other hand, I loved how you expressed the shady and manipulative side of Stanley. Other characters still need some screen time for them to express themselves better.

In the blurb it was mentioned that the king always took advantage of her or hated her, but there weren't many incidents to prove that he did. So, try to take a minute to explain the bond between the family members and their love interests before going into the plot.

Writing style, Grammar, spellings, etc.: 9/10

I loved your writing style. It perfectly mimicked the way people used to talk in those times but it wasn't too complicated to understand either. You maintained a perfect balance in that sense. There weren't many grammatical or spelling errors that I noticed but I do think that the structure of a few sentences could be better.

Genre relevance: 10/10

It is definitely a historical fiction book.

Reader enjoyment and Communication with the readers: 8/10

I really enjoyed reading it. I don't usually read historical fiction but this was nice and I felt like it could be better with a few changes. Like, get into the details of a few characters and their relationship with the protagonist. Then it would be more fun and enjoyable for all the readers. Really sorry for the late review. Keep writing! All the best!

Overall: 83/100
