Roses and thorns

"Your cover page is so eye-catching and your intro is so intriguing. Your novel is really interesting. I will love to read more. A little tip that when you write about the nightmares use italic format it will look more good(it's just my opinion). Your plot is also very interesting so good luck. "

Mystifying, Magical, & Perilous

"This book held my attention very well and I think it had wonderful scenery descriptions. Ivelle is a very relatable character. She seems quirky, fun, and intelligent. These are all the signs of a good protagonist for a novel. Cirillo is the mysterious, handsome figure that appears later on in the book. He later identifies himself as an elf from a mysterious world her parents once originated from. The first thing I thought about from Cirillo's appearance was Lord of The Rings. His physical description sounds almost exactly like Legolas. While white hair is definitely on the ins right now, be wary of making your character too similar to another. Legolas and Cirillo are even the same species. You want your characters to be set apart from the all the others because that's what makes them unique. I think the pacing of the story is pretty good. There are a few chapters where it feels like Ivelle is bouncing from place to place very quickly. I think it can be tweaked to have a smoother transition between these events so it doesn't disrupt the flow of the story. I did notice quite a few spelling mistakes. Sometimes, it's best to read over your work a couple of times to catch them. You may also want to input your chapters into Grammarly (a free online spelling and grammar checker website) or into a word document first to help you identify any errors. This will help reduce those mistakes so they don't distract the reader from your story. Overall, I'm interested to see where the story goes for Ivelle and I hope she finds her mother's killer(s). I also hope to see more of the background story with this magical world and how it came to be. Since the only way to reach it is by a portal, I assume it's a different universe with its own rules outside the laws of modern times of Ivelle's reality. I'm wondering if her research into Medieval Times will aid her on her journey with Cirillo."
