ABODE AT THE RIM OF DARKNESS (Him, I And The Two Worlds): GaganaSree 

- - -

Title (4/5):

I really like the title. It is unique, and captures the readers attention. However, unless the book is part of a series, I would ask the author to remove "Him, I And The Two Worlds" from the title, and keep it as a quote for the book cover. If the book is part of a series, no changes need to be made to the title, other than adding a comma after "I".

Cover (4/5):

The cover is almost completely perfect. It fits the theme of the book, and catches your eye. I like the dark theme around it, considering the fact that the title of the book also has "dark" in it. The only change that should be made is making sure that the entire title is shown, and the picture isn't blurry. Currently, the picture is slightly blurry, and the "f" from "of" has been cut out. Otherwise, I really love it!

Blurb (4/5):

The blurb is great! It is very detailed, but doesn't give away too much information. The use of vocabulary is fabulous, and very unique. I like the length, as it is enough to give the reader a clear view of what the book is going to be about. Also, it complements the story perfectly. A few minor grammatical errors need to be fixed. I have listed them below.

First sentence can be changed to: Caroline Katy Anderson has been lurking around the world, quarreling with the vicious wild.

Second sentence should say "bestows a spontaneous decision upon herself"

Third sentence: ..that of Jadens faith. He is a narcissist for his words, the epitome of elegance, cruelly calm and a domineering monarch.

Second para, first line: An unwelcomed assassination...royalties and tension-filled realmic wars were hanging onto the fragile strand that she clenched in her fingertips.

Third para, first sentence: ...dilemmas, she.... solacing source. (Add a space after the period)

Third para, last line: Jaden forever, as she lost...

I haven't really made changes to the overall description. I have only corrected a few grammatical mistakes. Otherwise, the blurb is truly phenomenal! Great job to the author on that!

Genre (5/5):

It is very obviously a fantasy book, and I love that.

Originality (10/10):

Totally original! I love the unique plot and structure of the book. It is not cliché (not saying I don't love to curl up with a butterfly triggering cliché) and has a fresh and new plot. It's something that I haven't seen before, and I'm extremely happy that I was able to read this unique and interesting book. Awesome job, author!

Descriptions (10/10): 

The descriptions were one of the strongest points of this book. They were completely fascinating, and portrayed the scene in the book as one that was happening right in front of my eyes. The amazing use of vocabulary complements the descriptions, and makes the book even better than before.

Character development (9/10):

Like many other features of the book, the character development was amazing! Caroline's character was developed over time, showing her calm side, as well as her fierce side. Her spontaneous side kept the plot going, and proved to be a great structural factor for the book. Once again, awesome job to the author. Caroline's character was developed over time, making the book suspenseful. However, I feel that it was developed just a tiny bit too slowly. Nonetheless, that is a very minor problem.

Plot (10/10):

As far as I've read, I've really enjoyed the plot. The cliffhangers leaving me shocked, and some of the parts making my eyes wide. This is great, as the reader will be able to really dive in with the characters, and experience everything emotionally. The structure is great, and the plot flows well from chapter to chapter. It also has a hooking factor, and makes the reader crave the knowledge of what happens next. A really, really well done plot.

Grammar (13/15):

Most of the grammar was correct. However, I did notice a few incorrect uses of commas, and an irregular verb tense. The author kept switching between past and present tense. I believe that when the book is edited, these mistakes should be cleared out. If the author is not confident that all the errors will be cleared out, the book can be sent to an editing center.

Structure (5/5):

The structure of the book was perfect! All of the chapters contained scenes which happened at the right time, and didn't leave plot holes. The chapters were written in a sequence which ensured that all the necessary things happened, and contained scenes which left the reader in shock. Overall, the structure was excellent!

Vocabulary/Spelling (9/10):

The vocabulary was simply phenomenal. The use of unique words, and a distinctive writing style made the book interesting, and provided an image for the reader, as I've mentioned before. I feel that the "Show Don't Tell" factor had been used splendidly in this book. The spelling was also completely correct. However, I did notice that a few words were written with the first letter on one line, and the rest of the paragraph/sentence on the next. Of course, this can be fixed when the author edits the book, and is not a huge problem.

Overall enjoyment (10/10): 

I really enjoyed the book! It was a great read, interesting and captured my attention almost immediately. I truly believe that this book has great potential. With an extraordinary plot, rare writing style and the hooking factor, it can go to a whole lot of places. After the minor editing, I suggest that this book be put in some awards for more publicity, and to spread the word about it.

Score: 93/100

To the author: I truly loved your book! Extraordinary job, and keep writing fantastic works like this one. Thank you SO much for choosing me to do your review! <3
