Short Review: I am not very knowledgeable about DuckTales, but I know about it, and I decided to look at the episodes to see the original plot for this story. I quite enjoyed the way the characters' personalities were switched to create this fanfic. Although it is a retelling of the season, it is still interesting since it's set in a negaverse. It was too shocking to find out how different Donald's character was in this story! The cover is really nice and cute too!

Short Review: A really nice blurb; enough to catch my attention. Although I know nothing of the story from which this fanfic is derived, it is quite interesting even without the knowledge of the original story. The grammar and vocabulary are extensive enough to make it have that archaic vibe; it reminds me of a book I read long ago that existed within the universe of The Seven Kingdoms, and I feel like readers who are into more fantasy-adventure genre books would enjoy this just like I did. I also like the switch between characters so that the readers may get to know them throughout. A very good job! Well done! Keep it up!

Short Review: The blurb is really good, and it captured my attention immediately even if the cover didn't; it could be a better but good job! The first chapter was enough to make me want to read more! The setting and mood were set perfectly to create mystery and suspense, leaving me wanting to know what happens next. However, a little thing that stood out is that I think there should be more use of pronouns instead of repeatedly stating the name of the main character, Sara. In each paragraph involving her, almost every sentence started with 'Sara' and so on with some of the other characters as well. Another thing is that there is no need to state which character said the following line repeatedly. (Eg. "Yeah. The monsters haven't managed to punch my ticket just yet," Leon replied.) Leon had previously already talked, so we know he's conversing with Liu back and forth; you can state which character is speaking when a new character joins the conversation. Overall, the story has a super interesting start!

Short Review: When I read the blurb, I was intrigued because it said Peter Pan was a monster, and I had to see what that was about since Neverland and Peter Pan are usually seen as good for children. The prologue was definitely an interesting start to the story, and I wanted to find out who the new lost boy was! The next chapter followed up with the suspense, and I was shocked by the appearance of the shadows. The sudden big paragraphs in chapter 2 caught me off guard though, but it is forgivable with the nice storyline. Overall, this is certainly an interesting twist to the original Peter Pan story! I hope Elaine will be fine; Peter Pan seems scary :(

Short Review: I like the cover; it's beautiful! The blurb was interesting for the first half, but it lost me by the end. It makes you want to learn about the main character, but not in the way other books can. It seems like 'if you want to know more, you could take a look' and not 'I hope she has amazing power! What were her troubles? I need to read this!' There is no excitement instilled into me or a growing longing to know about her journey. It could've stopped at the second paragraph, then you briefly introduce Viv with minimal details. (Eg. Eighteen years later, a child was born and abandoned without hesitation because she was also conceived the same way. Her name was Viv. What connects her to the other kids? Could it be she also holds a special power within her?) Since the prologue has what's in the blurb, as I said before, you could keep the details on Viv to a minimum and keep them in the story for character development. Right off the gun, in chapter 1, people are trying to kill Viv, and I was excited to see how it'll play out; it was funny when Klaus called her Michael Myers. It was also quick finding out what Viv could do (Earth manipulation), a little bit too quick. I was hoping it'd play out longer with more suspense leading up to the reveal, but it's still good. Furthermore, you got me with the twist in chapter 3! There is not much background info on Viv before she turned 13, but I assume the story gets into it in the following chapters. Overall, great job! Keep up the good work! (Btw, sorry if this 'short' review was long, ironic huh?)

Short Review: The cover was really good! The blurb gives the basic gist of the story. This was a really interesting concept. I liked how it was both Hiccup and Astrid, not just him. Also how the Light Dragon was thought to be evil but wasn't. The Hiccup-Astrid moments were really good too. But it was slightly fast-paced and there was not much character growth given. But still a good book.

Short Review: I don't usually read BTS x OC books but this was really good. It was slightly cliche with the whole good girl and ruthless cold guy trope. It was also kinda slow-paced which made it slightly boring. I also didn't quite see how the other ships gave anything to the story. But it was fun to see them differently from how we usually do.

Short Review: There are a few angel guardian stories but this was different. I don't see how Shakespeare English was important... It becomes slightly difficult to understand what's being said. I don't usually read these kinda books because it feels weird shipping them. But this was actually really good. The Shakespeare English made it a bit difficult to understand and could have just been written in normal English. But I liked how it was different from usual guardian angel stories. There wasn't a lot of character development.

Short Review: I found a few grammatical errors also it was very wordy. It was very wordy. It was basically the normal mythology kinda rewritten. It was overall pretty good, just some grammatical errors. There were quite a few. I liked that it was a rewrite of a classic Hindu myth.

Short Review: The blurb doesn't give much about the book. The book is very enjoyable but kinda cliche... I love the way you envisioned the parents differently since most just go "They didn't love their children and were very cruel". I also love the sass included. It was also nice to see Sirius have a good relationship with his siblings. It was kinda slow which makes it a bit boring at times and a little more character development would have been good.

Short Review: The title is really amazing and attractive. The cover is attractive and beautiful. It has quotes that make it even better but I feel that the figure shown in it can be made a bit bigger. The blurb is written perfectly and is attractive. It really shows the feelings behind its main character. But it is too short you can add more lines to it. All the spellings were perfect and everything was written well. It is full of originality and really amazing. The writing style is perfect but you can write a bit shorter paragraphs to make it neater. The plot and storyline are awesome. It is original and is creative. Characters are developed well. They are neither developed too fast nor too slow. I really enjoyed while reading this. The way all the emotions and each and every feeling was expressed, the use of good vocabulary all was amazing.

Short Review: The title is good but I don't like it that much. The cover is attractive and vibrant as well. The title is also visible properly but you can improve by adding more symbols related to the book. The blurb is written well but you can add more questions to attract people rather than just giving a part of the story. Grammar and spelling are all good. The vocabulary used is also good. I can say it was an original and creative book. The writing style was good you were able to form proper dialogues and the story was written neatly. The plot is very good and the storyline is unique as well. The story is at its climax now and that's the part that makes us eager to read further. I enjoyed while reading the book but you can add more twists cause it becomes boring in a few chapters.
