Great Read

This book was great overall for an unpublished writer, it held my interest in the character build up and personification and was unique in plot and the world the author has portrayed. *This is constructive and helpful criticism- I respect the author and the book and only wish to make it better. However I did find many consistent mistakes in punctuation and grammar etc and this made the book seem rushed. This book started out really well- and its hard to start a story so I give the author 5/5 for this. But holding up the beginnings and mid way of the book is even harder- as I read more toward the end the plot became less interesting, more clique, predictable and well... worse in grammar, plot, characterisation and (sorry) seemed lazy. The entire book was rising to this peak and the tension kept me interested but the finale lacked the pace and slow wind down that I craved. Instead of reading sophisticated, unique thought I read actions only- the ending lacked emotional closure and I only read it toward the end to see the outcome. The book started off different and non clique and ended in juxtaposition to its beginning. It all just tasted like it was rushed and it just wanted to end in a unrealistic, almost fake way that really had me frustrated. However, writing is hard- I understand that. Having the guts to write something and publish can be hard too and I commend the author for this. As I said earlier- this is not hate mail- I liked the book and hope to leave criticism that might help. Great book and great read!
