Book- The Battle Within An Angel
Genre: Science Fiction/Dystopia
Mature: No
LGBTQ: No
Author: NBNiar
Book Title
I think the significance of the title will be revealed after a thorough read of the book. I read the first few chapters and it seemed to me that the three teens Maddox, Claire and Cole may contribute to their assigned roles which is why I felt that "Angels" would be a more suitable replacement for "Angel" in the title. But as I said earlier, there might be indeed a contribution of one Angel rather than two.
Book Cover
The cover comprised of a manly figure with wings in an area that was amidst fire. I think the cover is suitable with the title the author has chosen giving the idea of one Angel.
Book Description
The elements present in the description seemed enough for me but I'd like to say that it had quite a lot of spacing than actually needed.
Plot
Mother Earth is dying because the sun has turned a Red Giant Star. The world temperature has reached heights and everything is burning with more radiation in the atmosphere that has ever been. Amidst this, the nineteen year old Maddox hears strange voices commanding him to protect a girl who will in turn protect the Earth from this devastation. This girl is Claire. There's another boy Cole who meets Maddox on the lonely streets and decides to stay with Maddox, meeting Claire at the same time Maddox finds her.
Spelling, Punctuation, Grammar and Vocabs
All sectors seemed alright to me but I think the author can include a key for "Red Giant" and any other technical words used.
Writing Style, Character Development, Flow and Setting
The author did a great job in portraying the helplessness of people in such a devastating situation, especially by including ideas such as people didn't hesitate to snatch resources from others for just one intention of surviving a little more. The descriptions of the sceneries of burning buildings and houses, lifeless habitats and abandoned areas really struck my mind so I won't hesitate to say that the author nailed it in terms of setting. It seemed so authentic that the readers will feel that they themselves are in that situation witnessing such. I must say that I saw some good character building in this book. Maddox had no one in his life but his care for the two complete strangers Cole and Claire wasn't a bit unbelievable and the credit goes to the author in making the readers believe such. The flow went good as well.
Creativity and Enjoyment
After the above mentioned sectors, the author again showed their prowess at creativity and enjoyment. There were some cool additions when Cole grew blades from his knuckles, Maddox grew wings and the unique transfer of blood between Maddox and Claire. The idea of the inclusion of gold running through veins instead of blood at some particular point was another cool approach in this book to hook readers. I definitely recommend this book to readers because they'll miss a lot if this book isn't given a try.
