Contest #1-Review Entry 3-Jasminearun
Book Name: MisHaan One Shots
OS Name: Yeh Ishq Nahi Aasaan...This Love is Not Easy
Review :
Note: I have read the work before so my views would be a bit biased in that sense.
Title: 6.5/10
A nice title which talks of difficult Love and difficulties faced in Love. Since have read the story, it is completely apt for the story...Talking About Difficult Love definitely makes it clear that it's going to have some problems but yes a title somewhat more clear of the theme would have helped so would be cutting 1.5 marks for it.
I would definitely like to read on to know what is the difficulty in the lead couple( MisHaan here)'s story but yes again, somewhat more thought on the title making it more catchy would definitely help so would be cutting 2 marks for that.
Cover: 9/10
The cover is beautiful and definitely so symbolic of what the story holds, the sad, tired yet together MisHaan, A teardrop filling an ocean and kind of indicating that there are so many more such teardrops that have filled a whole ocean but nobody paid heed, A dried tree with a bird indicating there's no relief on this path of Love yet people tread it, absolutely beautiful, would have given full marks if not for the shell(?) in front which am not able to understand the significance of so cutting 0.5 marks in theme.
The cover is gorgeous and Lovely, Something that would definitely make me open the book but yes would suggest the subtitle to be placed a bit more tactfully so that it doesn't cut objects in the header, would cut 0.5 marks for it.
Blurb: 10/10
Such a beautiful and apt blurb, A reality of so many lost lives...Not letting Lovers unite is still understandable but how can parents try to kill someone born out of their own selves, that too for the 'mistake' of loving is something I can never understand...Beautifully put and completely justifying the theme, two people not meant to be because of their cruel families, the last question is so beautifully written...full marks on relevance to the theme.
About reading on after reading the blurb, I will definitely read on reading the amazing blurb to check out how the story presents the theme, full marks there too.
Story: 22/25
A beautiful representation of two poor lovers who lost their life due to their parents' ego being bigger than their love for their children, The story was a simple yet beautiful representation of the pain they go through...Would give full marks for creativity and uniqueness since in such stories I have mostly seen the writers describe the backstory details more than the pain of the couple but you tried to describe their pain, emotions and future aspirations which were broken beautifully with not to forget amazing dialogues, also again...the temptation to make them live could have taken over but you still kept it realistic where the poor people ended up losing their life, beautiful.
Again, full marks on theme justification...As said above, The temptation to make them escape and live could have taken over anyone( I can assure you me for sure) but you still choose the realistic way which gave an amazing touch to the story, full marks there.
An interesting read for me for sure to know views and get a glimpse of the pain of people who get punished of death, that too by their parents just for the 'mistake' of loving but yes, since it was a scenic story and more on description, I am not sure how much proportion of other readers would find it interesting so will be giving 1.5 marks there.
Flow of the story was smooth and amazing, right from MisHaan trying to run to getting caught to questioning the goons to having a heartbreak realizing the reality to trying to remain strong to feeling immense pain to being each other's cure was beautifully explained and ran smoothly but yes, since it was scenic, I really think it would be unfair to other long entries to give it full marks in flow for one scene so I'll be cutting 1.5 marks there.
Ending was Wow and it came to the story as naturally as the story flowed, I especially loved you specifying that they were still together in death and death united them more than separating so full marks there.
Special Highlights: Ruhaan's dialogues about leaving the cruel world and Heaven being the place for true love without pain was absolutely lovely and their thoughts on the fact that if their parents couldn't care enough for them, why would the goons do were so realistic.
The song and its lyrics gave a soothing feel to the story making it more enjoyable and pictures so apt that they definitely deserve a special mention here.
Last but not the least, the realism that they felt the pain of physical injury and Love didn't take it away like would usually happen in stories is worth an applause.
Grammar: 13.5/15
Punctuations are mostly correct but would recommend a check on ellipsis uses at many places, an ellipsis is always 3 dots and also at some places, it seems like ellipsis and full stop should be interchanged. Would cut 1 mark for that.
Grammar is mostly amazing but yes, in the starting there are some simple tense errors and also basic mistakes which could be ward off by basic editing, would cut 0.5 marks for that.
Vocabulary is awesome and apt usage of words, full marks there.
Overall enjoyment: 4/5
Thoroughly enjoyed reading the beautiful descriptive story of MisHaan's love that didn't get fulfilled in the mortal world but yes, there is definitely scope for more with maybe a short backstory of how they fell in love, their family differences etc. so would be cutting 1 mark for I definitely would have loved that inclusion even if as a short backstory but otherwise, the story completely fulfilled the purpose it seemed to be made for, beautifully done.
Total: 64.5/75
