The Waves Brought Us here
"I wonder how many other books on this website were written by a 13 year old? This is an excellent novel and any adult writer would be proud of it. It is an easy but compelling read - a real page turner. The story line flows well and tells the story of a girl going with her parents from England to New Zealand in the 19th century. It vividly describes the tragedy onboard ship, then their life in Wellington until the second tragedy happens. The resilience and determination of the main character Lydia shine throughout. I think the novel by a teenage girl about a teenage girl and her family 200 years earlier shows a maturity in the writing and the style and the development of the plot. Well done! I look forward to more books by this author in the future."
Love it
"Love it. I want to promote your Inkitt book for free to my list of newsletter subscribers. If that is ok with you then please email me at exzordersplrwso AT gmail.com to book your spot, thanks (please don’t comment here I don’t read comments)."
Impressive
"I found myself easily impressed by the author's writing style and openness. Only with age comes experience yet these pages project the sensitivity and emotion that only years can bring. Miss Palmer presents an easy to read manuscript that could appeal to any age group. Writing style and plot all good with maybe an over use of the comma in many places. Wonderful effort for a writer with a bright future."
Jealous
"First of all, I don't think my writing was this good at your age and that remarkable. I feel like we all have a Sam Jones in our lives- that one nuisance. I enjoyed reading this book and I hope you keep writing because you are really amazing. I am jealous...."
Great historical fiction
"I enjoy reading historical fiction and this one's no exception. The characters were developed well, especially Lydia who had been strong-willed through out the story despite the tragedies in her life. She does whatever it takes to make a living and keep her sister happy, and it makes her a pretty admirable character. The story flowed well and I liked how it switches from present to past each chapter. There were some grammar mistakes as well as really long paragraphs that definitely needed to be broken up. Some of the paragraphs were so long that I ended up skimming a bit and so I was pulled away from the story at times. But overall, I did enjoy the story."
The Waves - Review
"I have added this one straight onto my reading and hope to get on it soon - I have a lot more to do yet. But I just wanted to say, at this stage, that this is a remarkable piece of writing for one so young. Keep it up! I have thoroughly enjoyed what I have read so far and the rating probably deserves more, but I need to see how the rest pans out."
