A Captivating Quick Read

First of all, I'm in love with the beautiful descriptions in this story. Everything's written so beautifully and poetically - the author definitely has talent in that area. Have you ever tried poetry? I think you'd be great at it!
The story itself is intriguing and manages to pack in a lot of emotion and promising ideas into such a short piece. The world, plot, and characters are teeming with potential. With some development, I could actually see this turning into a great book.
Good work! An enjoyable read.

Calypso

This story starts right in the middle of the action, hooking readers in. Instantly, I knew I would like each of the characters, especially Calypso, the protagonist. She has a sort of anti-hero feel to her that’s engaging and refreshing. The dialogue and character interactions were both compelling and entertaining. Each character had a distinct voice and way of talking, which I really enjoyed.
I felt that the beginning of the book was a tad bit rushed, and would have liked it if the context of the world was mentioned a bit earlier. But at the same time, those things kept me curious as I continued to read, so it’s fine the way it is.
Great work! Definitely worth a read.

The War

In just two chapters, the author has managed to catch my attention completely. I found myself fully invested in the story and characters. The writing is beautiful, emotionally powerful, and flows wonderfully. I especially loved Camilla’s writings – they’re so imaginative and poetic. At times, the transitions between scenes can feel a bit sudden, but that’s honestly the only criticism I have. I can’t wait to see where the story goes.

Fascinating and Beautifully Written

A wonderful novel for any fan of science fiction. The writing itself is amazing. It’s beautiful, intelligent, and very thorough - especially the character descriptions, which are incredibly detailed and paint a clear image of each character.
The world and atmosphere are amazingly detailed and immersive. I especially liked the technology. Sometimes it felt that large chunks of the universe’s history were being explained through monologue, but it didn’t really distract from the story itself, and was altogether very interesting.
It’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into this. The author has an amazing talent.

The Arrangement

Looks good so far! I love the entire bright, sort of cheerful feeling this story has (or at least that's what I felt while reading it). The grammar is actually very good - I didn't find any mistakes while reading. The plot itself looks promising. I think that the writing itself could use a bit more expansion, especially with emotions and setting, but otherwise, there's not much else to suggest. Keep up the good work!

Gangsta

This looks promising! The plot and overall idea are unique and fresh. Ruby, the protagonist, is full of personality - same with the side characters. I'm very interested to see how the plot plays out.
As far as critique and suggestions go, I would have liked the characters and plot to have been introduced a bit more naturally. Maybe try to use the "show, don't tell" method? Also, it would have been interesting to learn about the world this story takes place in - however, with it being so early in the story, this issue will probably fix itself as the plot goes on..
Lots of potential! I'm very curious to see what happens next.

The Book of Trials

A wonderfully written book, with a thrilling plot and a great protagonist. The writing is amazing, giving readers a clear image of the settings and characters. I personally loved the protagonist, Veia - she's relatable, full of personality, and carries a sense of depth that grabbed my attention from chapter one. I really enjoyed this, and can’t wait to see more from this author!

Suspenseful and Intriguing

I really enjoyed this! The sense of suspense and mystery kept me hooked with every new story. As far as critique goes, I noticed a few grammar mistakes, and thought that writing could be a bit more fleshed out. Some of the scenes and explanations felt a bit vague, but that also added a sense of mystery to them, so it's perfectly fine. All in all, some really great short stories, filled with horror and suspense.

Rose

The tension in this book is perfect! From the first chapter, it had me on the edge of my seat. The setting is eerie and has just the right amount of creepiness to keep me interested, without being too over the top. As for the plot, it's slow-burning and builds carefully, creating tension throughout the story. Perfect!

The writing itself was descriptive and flowed well. I loved the bits of humor sprinkled throughout, which made the protagonist relatable and likable to read about. There were, however, several typos (more so in some chapters than others). Most of the time they didn't distract from the story, though. Still, you might want to skim through and see if you can fix any. :)

All in all a solid book! Keep up the great work.

Fantastic

Hands down one of the best books I've read on this site. The plot is gripping and builds slowly, drawing you in from the first scene. There are no exposition dumps or forced descriptions - the author world-builds naturally and seamlessly, letting the reader experience the story's universe, rules, and technology as the characters do. The descriptions and details are perfectly balanced. I love the characters, too; the protagonist, Amelia, has such a distinct voice and personality that makes her point of view engaging and entertaining to read.
Definitely my new favorite book on Inkitt. I would highly recommend reading it!

Amazing Start!

This book immediately grabbed my attention. The descriptive writing, realistic dialogue, and breathless action scenes are entertaining and gripping. The feeling that none of Sylvia’s companions can be trusted creates a constant feeling of tension that makes me want to keep reading (I personally love that sort of thing in a book). From what I’ve seen of the setting so far, this book’s world looks like it will be unique, colorful, and exciting – I’m interesting in exploring it more as the story progresses.
My only suggestion right now would be to consider starting the story a bit earlier. I felt that things might have felt a bit more complete if there had been more time spent introducing the characters and the situation before the action started. This is just a suggestion, though – the story won’t suffer if you choose to keep like it is. :)
Awesome work! I’m can’t wait to see what happens next.

Intriguing

I'm blown away by how beautiful and eloquent the writing in this story its. It reads almost like poetry, and is both beautiful and chilling. What makes this particular story stand out is that there isn't an obvious, physical "plot". Instead, the story reads more along the lines of a stream of consciousness, guiding the reader through the narrative. Truly unique - great work.

Ethereal and Captivating

"Is Anybody Out There?" provides readers with an emotional, wonderfully-written story that's short and to the point. The writing presents the emotion in such a raw and clear way, that it's impossible not to get invested in the story. The sensation of complete loneliness was brilliantly demonstrated; throughout the entire story, I could feel the sensation of solitude growing, along with the character's despair.
Overall, a skillfully written and thought-provoking story. I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

Simply Amazing

I’m being completely honest when I say that this is one of the best books that I’ve read on Inkitt so far. I don’t usually read zombie-related stories, but “The Last of 2100” is just so unique from other books of this genre. Instead of going for the usual post-apocalyptic vibe, these first few chapters have taken on a sci-fi-like setting that's original and unique – I love it!
The writing style is simply amazing; I found myself completely absorbed in the story, settings, and plot. The voice of the two characters who’ve been introduced so far are distinct and clear. I could practically feel their emotions as I read.
At the moment, I have no suggestions, except that I agree with what Thorns_or_Roses mentioned about the character introductions in the beginning. Other than that, just continue what you’re doing – it’s perfect.

Regrets

Great start! Right from the beginning, I could really hear the character's voice and see their personality. There’s some great groundwork for future chapters, and the writing is full of emotion. Maybe add some more details, though, especially in the flashbacks. Some of the scenes so far seem to move very quickly.
Nevertheless, the majority of the story so far – the thoughts – show more than enough potential. I’d definitely be interested in seeing what happens next!

Girl In Pain

I love the raw emotion in this book. The plot and the characters are believable, with a great sense of conflict to them all (especially the protagonist). I personally love the author's writing style; it's beautiful and descriptive, reading almost like poetry. The entire story is full of emotion, and the mystery surrounding the protagonist's past is very compelling.
Definitely worth a read!

Gripping!

This book had me at the edge of my seat. It was thrilling and mysterious, giving readers little pieces of information and slowly drawing them in. I was hooked from the first sentence. At this point, I think the only issue is the grammar and frequent typos, which sort of distracted from the story. However, the writing itself was very good, and the book as a whole was fascinating and exciting.
Keep up the good work!

Very promising!

So far, this book is great. I particularly like the struggles of the individual characters. The entire cast, including side characters, are filled with personality and charm. I also love how the plot slowly unfolds with an overall sense of mystery.

It seemed to me that the main characters often acted a bit too mature for their ages - maybe you could make them a tad older? It's not a huge issue, just something I noticed.

Just a quick suggestion: You might want to put a trigger/content warning in your summary, regarding the events of chapter 4 - some people might find that kind of thing upsetting.

Great work! I'm excited to see what comes next.

A Tense and Exciting Short Story

This is an amazing short story, Tension is held until the final sentence as readers slowly learn the plot. The author gave enough information to guide readers in the right direction while leaving some things to the imagination. I’m amazed at how there managed to be actual character development in such a short piece. The woman's inner turmoil about her actions is particularly well done.

All in all, this is a great story with amazing writing, intriguing characters, and a gasp-worthy ending.
