Book: A special summer

Author: NiaDninja

Title: 4/5
It is a common title but definitely appropriate.

Cover: 4/5
There is yoga involved so yes good cover. I like the background color.

Blurb: 6.5/10
It is good summary but there are mistakes, is it manido camp or maindo camp. Also grammatical errors are there.

Characters: 7.5/10
A confident main lead, can't grab much direct information on the other characters other than what the main lead thinks and how she sees/perceives them.

Flow: 8/10
Due to the writing style, there is a pause in flow of reading the story, as the reader adjusts to new style. But soon the story picks up and as said by the author, the quirkiness in the story is because it has been written in POV of the main lead who is differently normal.

Plot: 8/10
It is set in a comfortable zone, as comfortable as it can get for the main lead. The range of emotions is high but they are not clearly expressed because it is a POV. The main lead forgets and gets distracted a lot. So of course the flow is chopped in sections. Japanese has been used making it interesting. The karate competition was awesome. There was an overflow of emotions at times with little or no background as to why. But that's what has been tried to show here. The difficulty of a person like Koiku. There were scenes that lacked information but the epilogue made it clear why.

Grammar: 7/10
Writing style was changing with every paragraph initially. Lot of editing is needed. Had it been written in third person, it would have been clearer and have had more information about the characters.

Overall enjoyment: 8/10
It surely left an impact on me about how difficult and challenging it is for people with that syndrome.

Total: 53/70

Book: The lightning mage

Author: AziaElga

Title: 5/5
Cool name, a direct title. It is her story.
Cover: 4/5
It is anime themed; bringing the fantasy world with it.

Blurb: 8/10
Summary is nice with the hanging thread of mystery. It irks the reader to read the story and find the mystery; yes I am a Naruto fan.

Characters: 9/10
There are so many characters with so many personalities. I liked each one of them. They were all very well described and they progressed along with the story. There was an emotional depth in each character with a story of it's own.

Flow: 9/10
Perfect! I loved the easy story telling style of the text. It was almost like an anime or a toon comics. The isekai thing was not anything unusual, rather it was well mixed with the modernity of the world. And the amalgam seemed just perfect.

Plot: 9/10
Beautiful plot with magic and emotions used just inr right amount. There was no overbearing to read about the magical world. There was addition of various natural and real life things that made it even more exciting to read. The twists and mystery were very well established. The action scenes were so well described. Since the flow was good, the reader does not lose interest anytime throughout the story.

Grammar: 8.5/10
Author has good hold on the language. But of course, the story needs editing.

Overall enjoyment: 9/10
It was such a lovely story. I was back in my Naruto mode with more magic. Looking forward to this story!

PS: your profile photo is really cute!

Book: Summer Jam

Author: Ookaishy

Title: 4/5
A common title but definitely apt.

Cover: 4.5/5
Beautiful, and it shows the main lead smiling, I am hoping she will be happy at the end of the story.

Blurb: 8/10
A simple summary, nicely explaining the plot and the underlying emotions.

Characters: 8/10
The characters are true to what they have been depicted as. I was surprised to know they were inspired from real people in the author's life. Surely that helped in bringing such depth in them.

Flow: 9/10
The flow is amazing. It is so easy to go through this story. There is not much drama, with just the right amount of emphasis on incidents that push the story forward.

Plot: 9/10
A new plot in this genre. Emotions are high throughout the story. The confusion in the main lead is evident and one can't help but feel sorry for her to have to go through all that. She is at war with herself and this has started to affect herself and those surrounding her. There is a new twist with the addition of a good third wheel, which are typically shown bad.

Grammar: 8.5/10
It has been written in a descriptive format, with not much dialogues. This is both easy to read and annoying at some points as it only provides what the main lead perceived from that conversation and not what the other character might have actually tried to say. Editing is definitely needed.

Overall enjoyment: 8.5/10
I enjoyed it very much. There is newness in flow of emotions and still they feel so real and so practical.

Book: Prodigy - child of the dark by sincerely-me

Author: sincereIy-me

Title: 5/5
Perfect title! This is so apt with the story, I cannot think of any alternative.

Cover: 5/5
I love the graphic work done for the cover. It is amazing.

Blurb: 9/10
It is a Harry Potter Universe story, and the summary alone grapples the reader.

Characters: 9/10
What a perfect way to describe the established character of Tom Riddle! I am amazed by the writer's ability to grab the demeanor of Riddle in the HP books and present it here in her own style, maintaining the integrity of the character. The new character established is unique in its own way and still has a long way to go.

Flow: 8/10
As there were not many chapters to read, I could sense the flow, with the few chapters, has its own pace and is still building up.

Plot: 9.5/10
Unique! Never will any HP fan miss this kind of story and the way it has been presented is phenomenal. There are all the known elements in it and can still bring out the newness of it to the readers. I was griped hard by this particular fan fiction. The chemistry between the leads has just build up so there not much to say about that.

Grammar: 8/10
The story has just started, so there was very few mistakes found. However the writer needs to keep in mind that the story is set in England originally and is expected to be of that standard.

Overall enjoyment:9/10
I personally loved to read this book and is looking forwards to it's updates.

Book: Unmask secrets

Author: la-femme-de-fer

Title: 4.5/5
A very appropriate title according to the story plot. There are so many masks and so many secrets.

Cover: 4/5
It is appropriate to the title as well as the story. Well made cover!

Blurb: 9/10
The prologue pulls me into the story. The summary has its own charm but the prologue was off the charts. It truly starts the adrenaline rush in the reader. I was drawn to the story.

Characters: 8/10
Most of the times, I felt connected to the characters. They were so real. But at times I failed to understand their monologues when they seemed to be counter-questioning their own beliefs. Maybe it was all part of the story.

Flow: 8/10
It was good to read through the story, it was a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Flow was bit uneven at times but then again it gained speed. Writer seemed to lack sense of time a few times, but otherwise, it was an action packed movie with heat of emotions.

Plot: 8/10
A unique plot definitely but had a few flaws. There were a few loopholes, maybe because the story is still ongoing. Also at times I found the intimate scenes a bit too much, not that I did not like the explained situation and emotions, but I sensed lack of similarly detailed explanation in the other, plot-relevant scenes.

Grammar: 8/10
A few errors seen, but they don't really bother the story plot.

Overall enjoyment: 8/10
It was an emotionally draining ride through this story.

Book: After time by Kei_Angelus

Author: Kei_Angelus

Title: 5/5
Perfect, it is the end of the world and end of the time for humans.

Cover: 4/5
Dark, like the times shown in the story.

Blurb: 9/10
It was good start, a normal start to begin an apocalyptic story. The gripping factor was the fact that the lover called out of nowhere and aftermath that happened is the story itself.

Characters: 9/10

So well drawn. I could sense their feelings so clearly. The PTSD, the fear, the outbursts and of course the love. It was all so well explained. The characters had their own colors and they were true to them.

Flow: 9.5/10
Perfect in the present times depicted! The past was shown more like a memory, but was always complementary to the first half.

Plot: 9.5/10
A unique plot definitely. It had its own charm, its own pace. It felt like music to me, from two different artists, the present and the past. But it was perfect in its blend and was complementary to each other; one was incomplete without the other. The writing style was easy and liked the way the author presented the story. The words ' Life, changes, Lost, Death' beautifully define the story itself.

Grammar: 9/10
Very good, thought the book needs a little editing.

Overall enjoyment: 9.5/10
It is a secret, but yes, I did cry a few times through this story.

Total: 64.5/70
