《Via》Sienna and the Heart...

Sienna and the Heart of Aiseli by CheshireVibes

Reviewer: xFall3nang3lx

I really enjoyed reviewing your book CheshireVibes, it was such a good read also this was so well written, you’ve done a really good job!

Cover:
Honestly this is such a pretty cover, I could straight away tell that this would be a fairytale/fantasy kind of book, I also like the other covers as well those were good as well although my favourite one is the one you’re using already for the book, tell your friend that they make such beautiful covers for me!!

Description:
There’s just one little mistake and it’s the line “Together they set off a series of adventures”, all that you’re missing is the word ‘on’ in between ‘off’ and ‘a’ to make the sentence make sense. From the description alone, I’m already interested in this story, you hooked me in, it’s very detailed you very clearly told us what the story is about, good job!!

Storyline:
When I was younger I absolutely loved the story of the 12 dancing princesses, so this book was kinda nostalgic for me. Lately I’ve been really into dark fantasy books, so this book was particularly interesting to me. You’ve perfectly balanced the 3 genres (romance, fantasy and adventure) they don’t clash with each other at all and work together. I also like that we straight away jumped into the action, I love the addition of the evil stepmother, it wouldn’t be a fairytale without one. It was really imaginative of you to add a inventor into your story as normally it would just be a prince and a princess and then they fall in love. I really enjoyed reading this book a lot so far, I can’t wait to finish it!!

Characters:
From the first sentence of the story, I could already tell that Sienna was a mischievous and troublemaking girl, I found it hilarious that when all of the fizzles were let out her sisters instantly knew it was her who did it.  Also I can’t imagine what it’s like to have so many other sisters, I also noticed how you gave each sister their own personality to make them stand out/different and make them their own person. Although the king seems really cruel (for example when he took away Rose’s horse Octavius and wouldn’t even tell her where he is) although you have to admire that he seems to know a lot about all of his daughters. I think if I had to pick a princess that was most similar to, I think it would be Olive, I’m such a clumsy/unathletic person  (P.S. I swear down Fizzles sound so adorable, that I wish they were real because I want one!)

Grammar/Spelling:
I couldn’t find any mistakes at all, but I would like to say this you, describe everything so beautifully that It almost makes it feel like I’m in the story your descriptions aren’t too short that it doesn’t explain much and yet it’s not too long that it doesn’t drone on and make the reader lose interest.

Engagement of the reader:
I’m not gonna lie I was so into the story that I completely forgot that I had to review it and that I was just reading it for fun, this is such a amazing story that I completely lost track of time, again this is amazing! You should be really proud of yourself!
