Review: I think you have an amazing plot planned but the execution is quite bad. There is a lot of information dumped in the first chapter which can put off readers. There are many filler conversations between the characters. My advice, remove each scene that doesn't help in moving the plot forward. You can sprinkle the background information later on once your reader is hooked. Think, think and think about the purpose of each scene and characters. The conversations should change the direction of the story. Also, please change the title and cover and add appropriate spaces in the blurb. Good luck writing <33333

Review: Change the cover, please. The background image is decent but the font is just bland. As for the blurb, there are few grammatical errors and a lot of punctuation errors in the story. Talking about the writing style, it can be enhanced. The plot, well the starting is a bit chaotic. Try to tell less but show more. For example, in the beginning when Carlous woke up by the screams, heighten the tension and show us the calm before the storm then disrupt the silence. Good luck writing <3333.

Review: Your writing style is amazing. I loved each character. I really don't have anything to complain about, it's just everything is good lol. The pacing of the plot is good, but try to minimize the filler conversations, I know they're there to tell us about the characters but try to make them interesting so the readers won't lose interest. Good luck writing <3333.

Short Review: It's a very enjoyable book with an interesting plot. I loved the originality of this book! But I wish the writer had written a little more about the world Raia Allen was living in so that the readers can understand the story better. Basically, the story lacks backstory so it's hard to understand the fantasy world she's living in.

Short Review: It's an interesting book with a very creative and original plot. The diversity in the characters was what I enjoyed the most. The display of various cultural practices and traditions was amazing! I really loved this book. There was a touch of realism to it, especially the emotions. They were realistic and portrayed Tenoila's feelings really well.

Short Review: The book is very enjoyable. But it's very slow-paced. Just reading 5 chapters and not much has happened. This sometimes makes a book boring. It's a really interesting idea and also very original. I also liked the thing of their hair colour matching their house and powers.
