Everything is simply perfect about this book! The only little problem is that it's sort of hard to remember all the names of the crew of the ship and their role at the start, but that gets better later on. I personally like pirate stories too, and, just one more thing, I think this book is more of an adventurous novel than fantasy. I give it 86.5/90

A very unique idea of the 'knots'. Loved the cover and the prologue, too. I find the way that the characters develop throughout the plot interesting as if I can actually feel their souls and destinies tethered. Blurb could be improved, I give a total mark of 65.5.

Loved the way how you put art together with magic. It's a very interesting idea, and I liked it a lot. Your cover looks great, too. However it'd be even better to arrange your blurb a little and make it reads more attractive, doing so you can add in more relationships description into the blurb instead of telling the reader just the plot. I also speaks French, so I've read both versions ;) Either ways, I give a to

The title is a bit long and hard to remember, grammar and word flow are all fine and smooth, the relationship between characters is exciting too. I'm giving the plot section a little low mark as I'm marking with the expectations of a fantasy book, this book could easily succeed in a paranormal section, but might not fit too well in fantasy. Otherwise, everything else is really good, and I'm enjoying it too. I give a total mark of 62/90.

Review: The book's idea of the rings in heaven is quite original and unique, it's also got superior word flow, creating a smooth reading sensation. The only problem is that viewing your books, Cloud 9nine should be connected with Cloud 7even and Cloud 8ight, right? So when judging Cloud 9nine alone, I do not understand the relationship between Lo, Tetra, Ava, and Evyn. Therefore it's also hard to understand the characters' relationships. You could fix this by marking out that this is a sequel to 'XXX' book, and advice the readers who come across this book to read those ones first. Or give a brief explanation of your character's background in the first chapter.
The blurb could be a little longer, and the cover could be improved with a more visible font and better graphic. You could check up sites Canva to look for ideas.
In total it's good, I give a total mark of 54.5.
