2)Book Name: ArShi One Shots
OS Name: Midnight

Review:

Title: 6.5/10
A sweet, simple yet intriguing title. 'Midnight'. The title suggests the story is set during midnight and night has varied sad emotions associated to itself which the title is successful to draw me to but yes somewhat more relevance would have been great so would give 3.5 marks to the theme relevance.

3 marks on being catchy since even as the one word draws my attention I don't how many chances I can vouch for me to open the OS based on the title alone.

Cover: 9/10
A beautiful header showing the leads (ArShi) as sad, alone, almost crying within a heart, Aptly captured the theme so full marks there.

The font, the dreamy night feels of the cover, the twinkle added are otherwise beautiful and can definitely make anyone read on but I feel the pics placed inside heart could be placed a bit more tactfully since their edges are visible, felt they are kinda distracting so would cut a mark for that.

Blurb: 9/10
Ok so Khushi is waiting for Arnav at midnight but something unexpected happens which shocks her... the theme coupled with the title makes me feel its a case of death but again, the blurb mentions its fantasy so can it be that Arnav reveals himself to be some supernatural creature? Nows that's for me to see.

Full marks on the write up since I'll definitely want to read on to know what shocked Khushi and also since I am biased towards supernatural and fantasy genre. ( Unho Unho)

Relevance to theme...Will be cutting 1 marks since nothing indicates the theme, the 'shock' does but not very aptly so...

Story: 23.5/25

A beautiful work jasmine, You got me shivers when Khushi realized that what had happened even though I had guessed the plot somewhat past a certain point in the story, Would give full marks on creativity since it was a unique idea ( I could guess only since I knew the theme) Also I felt the story was completely cliche free since from the time I felt what had happened, I had expected Arnav to speak the truth right away but Arnav didn't making his wish of making the night full of happiness for Khushi come true and again, Arnav not returning to life. ( Even though Won't deny, I would have loved that.)

Again, Full marks on theme justification, You put it beautifully and even though the thought of uniting them by giving Arnav's life back can be pretty tempting, you still didn't so full marks there.

Interesting, definitely...I totally enjoyed it, Arnav's foreshadowing dialogues and at the same time nullifying them with cute jokes was fun to read even though I could guess what was coming, I sure can't forget the shivers I got when Khushi realized the truth so full marks there.

Flow was great and totally apt and beautiful but yes, I would have liked some scene indicating how Arnav was able to break the rule of heaven and if he could do it once, then why not again and also, 1 major logical flaw I felt was Arnav's body still being at the accident spot in the morning since the accident happened at night and everyone even knew the time so 1.5 marks cut for that.

Beautiful ending, it radiated a serenity which I absolutely loved so full marks there.

Special Highlights: I totally enjoyed Arnav's dialogues to Khushi especially the foreshadowing ones and then him himself nullifying them, those were an enjoyable read.
The very thought of the story was just beautiful, someone coming back post-death for giving some happiness to their lover, lovely.

Grammar: 13/15

Punctuation was good everywhere else but the finishing double quotes were missing from all dialogues so will cut 1 mark there. ( I guess it is IF's fault but sorry, Can't ignore since it's on WP too.)

Again amazingly written otherwise but would suggest basic editing to check on a few basic grammar mistakes, 1 mark cut for those.

Vocabulary was completely apt and all words were correctly used so full marks there.

Overall Enjoyment: 4/5

I totally enjoyed reading the story, infact a lot lot lot but yes, here I felt like I was getting desperate to read the reason for Arnav being able to come back so I kind of felt sad when that wasn't shown cutting 1 mark for that.

Title, Cover and Blurb after reading: All three completely apt with the same faults as mentioned before.

Total: 65/75

Note: Read actual Work on IF on writer's wish.
