My book review of Love’s iridescence
To start of with, I would like to thank Estherville123 for asking me to review her book, I really enjoyed reading it.

Cover:
My first impression of the cover was that I thought it was really eye-catching and I love how clear the picture of the hands and the sparkles (the sparkles are more of a personal preference for me, as I love shiny stuff, I’m like a magpie). Just saying, the cover is absolutely stunning.

Description:
I don’t know if you intended for it, but to me the fact that you used ticks as a kind of checklist to make sure the description is true to the storyline of the story and meeting the requirements, the only fault I have with it is that you should try using a range of different punctuations (I.e. ellipsis) instead of using so many full stops, an example would be after the sentence, “she’s the main subject of a prophecy” and “And the mate to the Lycan king” as a way to build up suspense.

Storyline:
The prologue… Omg the prologue… I liked it so much, I love how we straightaway jump into the whole story and the plot of the story is so intense, I love how you alternate between so many different kinds of moods: some suspenseful, some romantic. I also like the fact that the story is told from different point of views so we can see from their perspective their feelings and thoughts instead of just one person’s. Going through each chapter, whenever I got to the end, I kept on thinking to myself, “What happens next?” And that’s how you know you’ve written a good book. Good job!!

Characters:
Each character has their own defining trait, and I love how unique they are to another, this makes the storyline so much more intriguing, although this is just my personal opinion, but I would prefer to have a description of the characters’ appearance, as the only description I’ve gotten so far up to chapter 5 were the description of myra’s eyes although, you probably wanted to see leave it up to the reader’s imagination which I think is also really good too.

Grammar/Spelling:
It was pretty much perfect, however there were some spelling mistakes that I have encountered such as the word “triffle”. Instead you could use the word “trifling”, and I also loved how you have stayed true to the way the medieval people would’ve spoken during those time (as you know historical inaccuracies are a huge pet peeve of mine, so very well done!).

Engagement of the reader:
The writer does really go in depth with the story I’m not gonna lie here, this story is so well written that I’ve started to read all of the chapters the writer has written so far, and I hope she’ll update it soon, so I really recommend this story.
