Intriguing

"I'm loving this a lot so far! Haven't read too many stories having Nordic folklore outtakes, so it's quite refreshing to finally come across one. The whole school life atmosphere is very credibly reflected and I could really feel it embrace me with its ambience of familiarity while I was reading through the chapters. I only wish the naration was a little more descriptive and detailed, because I like when I can visualize all the scenes and all the characters at length based on what I'm reading. Otherwise, my impressions from reading the first four installments are very pleasant, and I'm really looking forward to the next chapters and further progression of the plot. Kudos on a great job, keep it up!"

A Great Start

"Personally, I really enjoyed reading your book and I believe that it has potential. However, there are a few things you could change to make it even better. Title and Cover- I think that your title is great, nothing needs to change there. However, for your cover, I recommend you add some brighter colors to catch the reader's eye. A lot of people say, "Don't judge a book by its cover," but the only way someone will pick up a book on a bookshelf with hundreds of other books on it is because it has an interesting cover. If you don't like the options that Inkitt gives you, you can also design your own, which doesn't take a lot of time. Blurb- I think it's great. It encourages the reader to keep reading and has a sense of mystery. The Chapters- First, I think I should start with the different creatures. I love how you described how they look and their powers. However, for the Lady of the Sea, you only wrote that it was similar to the Lady of the Woods. Even if they are similar, they have to have some differences, right? Otherwise, what would be the point of having those two different creatures? I recommend you clarify their differences. For the actual chapters, I can say that I love your writing style and the way you depicted each scene. However, I found some grammar and punctuation mistakes, which if you fix, could help your story a lot. Another thing you could do is write the story in the format of a diary. In a diary, having a few grammar mistakes is fine. However, whichever format you choose, you still need to skim through your book and correct the mistakes. Another thing I thought I might mention is that we don't know what any of the characters look like. All we can do is use our imagination. Therefore, adding descriptions to the character's appearance can help a lot. One last thing- I noticed that you have a lot of long paragraphs. Shortening them can also help a lot. Overall, I really enjoyed reading your book. These are all my personal opinions, so don't take them to heart. Share this book with your friends and family and/or Inkitt to see what they think. I am looking forward to reading the next chapter! -Ellie"
