The Matchmakers
"I love this book, it reminds me of Matched by Ally Condi. It is currently only a few chapters but I am intrigued by the characters and how the plot will develop.✨"
Excellent
"This was wonderfully written, in my opinion. I really, really, really wish that there were more chapters. Henry's behavior toward Rosemary - the whole hot and cold thing - makes me wonder what kind of a person Henry is. Was he trying to help Kalliope just to get on Rosemary's good side or did he genuinely believe she shouldn't be Relocated? And on that note - what IS Relocating that makes Rosemary so sick at the thought? Kalliope is the one I'm really wanting to know more about though. Argh! I want more!"
An solid, interesting start.
"I like this story and how it's going, but I have a world-building comment-ish thing and a world-building question-ish thing. The comment is that Romy seems to be rather passive; other make choices and got to go off and do things (specifically, her husband goes and attends meetings) while she stays back in their rooms. I /think/ that this is because that's her /place/, culturally speaking, but you haven't made that clear yet. The question is about the Matchmakers and the matchmaking ceremony -- you said that each continent has its own set of Matchmakers. Is that only one set for each continent? I ask because there are certain logistical considerations inherent in their work -- for instance, how many people are there? How many matches are made a day? How many ceremonies? Does everyone get their own this-is-why-it's-a-good-match speech? How long does that take? I ask because if the population is too large, then the Matchmakers will have to end up doing nothing but attending ceremonies. I'm guessing that the Match is formalized some time around their 18th birthday, but how much of a fudge factor is there? Do some people have to wait longer for a good match, or are you stuck with choosing from those who are born within a certain time frame from you? What happens if someone is widowed? Do they get matched again, or is that it? Is divorce allowed? Separation? What happens if one of the people is abusive? (The answer might be that yes, it happens, but society says 'that never happens' and ignores i when it does.) The other thing I noticed is that the characters seem to be more self-aware than most, which I like. I especially liked that Romy actually wondered why they had been sent away from everything that was familiar, and Henry remarks that maybe they think that they will be forced to confide in each other. The ploy itself is rather transparent (and very realistic), but usually, the characters don't see the ploy at all, and I like that yours did."
A Review for You
"This is a really interesting story, I love the plot idea and the characters. I'm really excited to see where you're going to take this! My only criticizing comment would be that you have a section in chapter 4 that repeats itself on into chapter 5, so you should probably take a look at that and fix it. Other than that, everything looks great and I can't wait to read more! Update soon! :)"
Matched
"I'm only 6 chapters in, but overall I can tell this story will only get better and better! Zara is an amazing Author! This is the second story of hers I've read and plan to look into her other work soon. If you love adventure, the future, love, loss, plot twists and more, this book is your perfect match!"
Holy Cow
"I devoured this story right up. That was really well written. When the novel gets published, I am definitely going to read the whole thing. There was one error in chapter 4 I think (believe it was the wrong use of your/you're but can't remember exactly) but I read it so fast I kind of blurred the individual chapters together into one long plot of awesome. Bravo on your hard work! I enjoyed it! ~Cass"
So glad I found this!
"Dear Zara, I'm in awe of the originality of your story. I've been wracking my brain these last few hours trying to remember if I'd ever come across anything similar to what you currently have going on. Your ability to write original characters says a great deal of your writing skills. The fact that you leave the reader wishing there was more is a great compliment. I hope you continue to write and I can honestly say I will be in great expectation of your next chapters. Fondly, Chair."
Love this
"Really love this story so far. The idea of matching is great because its so shocking, and yet it's so likely to happen sometime in the future. Can't wait to find out what happens with Kalli and how Romy gets along with Henry."
