Winter Bear By hyuntaenie

Title: The title is good. It perfectly fits the storyline. I was already looking forward to what this book is about.

Cover: The cover is also nice. It's relevant. It's creative. It promises something magical inside.

Description/summary: As soon as I read the title, I thought, how the winter bear is going to be connected to the story and then, I read the description. There is an actual polar bear in the story! It intrigued me. It promises something unique and unexpected. At first glance, I didn't even focus on the writing because I was curious about the plot. Well, but this is a review. So, it is written nicely. The length felt just right. I was wondering why you didn't give any names away, though. Maybe, it's your personal preference and that's fine because it's great! It totally draws me in.

Plot: The plot has lots of potential. I love the story idea. It's interesting. The characters are heartwarming. I simply love it. Readers have so much to look forward to, story-wise. Also, I found out there is no name in the description because protagonist doesn't care for them anymore. Hold on, let me dry my tears. It almost reminds me of a smaller version of me reading, his dark materials, and adoring Iorek (Ignore me if you haven't read it). 

Grammar and Punctuation: Grammar is good. There are mistakes with verb forms, but I don't want to pick too much. They didn't put me off the book or confuse me. 

Overall feel and flow of book: My, oh my! I loved the vibe of this book. This book deserves so much attention. And I can't praise the prologue enough! It's poetic, it's mysterious, it has magic, need I say more? The rest of the book is just as awesome. The scenes are so well-written, I was feeling every emotion you conveyed. Two things I want to point out, first, you are writing in first person narrative, use character's thoughts to say things, no need for them to mutter or say stuff to themselves so frequently. Or maybe explain why they do that, so they wouldn't seem a bit crazy (Or is that the vibe you were going for?). Second, try to minimize the usage of I. It's difficult, sure, but you can do it, you have the potential. I too struggle with this when writing in first person. Minimizing repetition of same words gives me a headache, but trust me, it will make your writing more attractive. That being said, please don't edit anything on my account. I love your book. Did I say that already? Don't know. Ah, damn the repetition, I love it!
