Judge's Feedback: The opening chapter is amazing!! The ancestors part of vampires is really well described. I absolutely loved your writing style. The dialogues are well written. The characters are believable and relatable. In my opinion a little bit of boost in vocabulary will do good. The plot is unique and interesting. Most of the places are pretty well described, but I would've wanted to visualize some of them more than I did. Also I feel that the author could've exploited the surroundings a bit more in some chapters. Overall, I loved this story and I find it original and really well written. You are an amazing writer. Keep up the good work!! <3

Judge's Feedback: I loved your writing style .I love the imagery given in your story. The opening is spooky and full of suspense and intrigue. Great use of description and dialogues to make your work really interesting and to paint a great picture the 'characters' emotions. Great use of scenery to build up the mood .The error I noticed in some chapters was word placement. You sometimes used the words in the wrong place or used the wrong synonym, changing the mood. You might consider paraphrasing some lines otherwise, it's all ok!! The blend between the genres is amazing. The main characters have a good development and they're vivid and relatable. The plot is mostly unique and new. You have exploited it in a good and well written way. The concept is really well developed!!

In my opinion, the opening could have been a more intriguing like the blurb. I love how well written the dialogues are. I loved your writing style and how you made the story revolve around the characters. The idea behind the story is really good and very well developed. The concept is really nice and I love the message of kindness (I'm talking about Alpha and Uku) that it transmits.
