• COVER : 10/10

It's the perfect cover. I love it! It's really attractive and gives an idea of the story.

• TITLE : 10/10

It's a good title. I understood why you chose it in the first five chapters which is great. The title's quite catchy as well and it gives a hint of what the story might look like

• BLURB : 10/10

If I could give this an 11/10 I would have because it is really good. Your first sentence got me hooked.

It says, "What if I told you you could change everything just by playing a game. To bring back what you lost just be winning. You could gain so much yet lose everything. Welcome to the House of Cards." I absolutely love it. It's so good. One suggestion though.
How about you put "Welcome to the House of Cards" in a separate paragraph? I think it would look a lot more cooler but it's up to you. Other than this, the entire blurb was great. I didn't find any grammatical errors. Good job!

• CREATIVITY : 10/10

I usually don't read these kinds of book, but I was quite impressed with this one. It's unique. You have expressed the idea clearly and there is almost no mistake. good job.

• CHARACTERS : 10/10

Your characters are hilarious! I love the main character, Annalise and you have described her really well. I love the humour and banter in the first five chapters as well with her grandmother and the cat. Overall, you have worked hard on your characters and brought them to life.

• PLOT : 14/15

The plot was a little slow, but I think that is supposed to happen in these kinds of book. It didn't really pick up the pace in the first five chapters I read, but I suppose that it would get better and better. Even though the book is kinda slow, you have written it well so it's slow and captivating. I almost didn't realize that I had finished the fifth chapter because I was so into it. I don't think there's anything wrong with the plot unless you have something planned for it a certain way.

• GRAMMAR : 13/15

The grammar was precise. I noticed a few punctuation errors here and there but nothing too complex. You can just take care of those while editing. Good job!

• COMMUNICATION : 3/5

You have replied to a few people but not a lot, at least not in the first chapter. You have a lot of comments so it must be hard to reply to all of them but you still need to reply to as many as you can. I did read the appreciation note which you published in one part though and showing how grateful you are for the comments and stuff is always good. So good job!

• OVERALL IMPRESSION : 14/15

I think your blurb attracted me the most. After reading the first line, I was excited to read the further story which is great because I am sure the other readers thought the same thing. Everything in the story was neat which is also a huge relief for me because some stories are great to read but are not presented well if you understand what I mean. This story was presented neatly too. Good job. I loved to read it!

• TOTAL : 94/100
