Book: Frozen Candle
Author: Zelenesenki
Reviewer: Demonnix
Title -> {10/10}
The originality of this title is so amazing! It matches the story and also catches the reader's attention!
Cover -> {15/15}
The cover holds mystery and uniqueness in a strange way that it made me intrigued on what happens in the story. The type of art used is very different to other covers but still, in an interesting way that captures the reader, making them want to know more!
Story Description -> {5/5}
The disclaimer at the beginning is very nice of the author! Some readers can use this as a guide to know what to expect and if they would consider reading the book due to its themes.
The description of the story is very intriguing! The way the main three characters are described already makes me so curious about what happens in the story! Just mentioning the Frozen Candle also makes me wonder why is it so important and what it possibly could be?
Content -> {48.5/50} (grammar and punctuation, originality, plot)
The description of the characters was very helpful to know the general characters before the novel began!
My goodness!! I cannot even express how well this novel has been written! How can someone write so well in just the first paragraph - let alone the description throughout the rest of the chapter! The description scale has broken!
A few little things! I apologise for my pickiness but there is not a gap between two dialogues in Prologue: Snowberry and also, in the sentence, ‘The chewing had stopped.. though he was a good meter away..’, the sentence, ‘The chewing had stopped,’ would be better off as a sentence by itself as it doesn't make sense when including the rest of it.
In, ‘Boring yet precious [½]’, something which could be made better is in the paragraph, ‘He is Miriam Blackmercy’s foster son… second only to Sion’s mum, ofcourse..’, it would be better to use a dash when mentioning that he is second to Sion’s mum..
Another little thing is capital letters even after sentences have started! Please watch out for those since they do pop up every now and then into the story!
Writing Skills -> {10/10}
W-O-W! I don’t even have words to describe this story! It's so amazing and the characters are so intriguing! I would totally rate 100/100 just from the writing itself but sadly I cannot..
Overall Enjoyment -> {10/10}
Like I said above, I’m blown away! This kept me entertained and I loved every bit of reading it! It made me smile so much that I didn’t realise that I was smiling until a family member kept pointing it out!
Recommend?
Most definitely! This book deserves so much recognition!!
