ꗃ﹕❜The Title:10/10

﹕❜A good writer possesses the power to intrigue and captivate readers, compelling them to delve into a book even if they initially have no inclination to do so. "Eternally Unheard" not only excels in this regard but also succeeds in forging a profound connection with the general reader. It is indeed rare to encounter stories where the title harmonises perfectly with the essence and soul of the narrative, and this book stands as a remarkable example of such alignment. The author has done a wonderful job in selecting a title that resonates deeply and draws readers into the captivating world within its pages.10/10

ꗃ﹕❜The Cover:9/10

﹕❜The narrator of the story, Jin, is depicted as a ghostly, non-human creature. The cover art chosen by the author portrays Jin standing on a bridge, fading against the backdrop of a setting sun. This artistic choice effectively conveys the emotions of the story and creates a visual connection with the reader. The gradual blurring of the sky in the cover image symbolises the fleeting nature of time, echoing the proverb that there is never enough of it. While some may find the cover to be bright and colourful, it is ultimately the author's decision, as they may have a personal connection to it that enhances their own vision for the book.

ꗃ﹕❜The Blurb: 10/10

﹕❜The blurb serves as an excellent introduction, akin to a pilot chapter, to this emotional and profound tale. Its well-crafted structure, with perfect spacing and minimal yet impactful words, sets the stage for a storytelling masterpiece. The inclusion of pertinent information about the book at the bottom further prepares the reader for the journey ahead. It is truly remarkable and sets the tone for an engaging and captivating experience.

ꗃ﹕❜Grammar and the Vocabulary: 19/20

﹕❜ The brevity of the story allows the writer to maintain a high level of grammatical and punctuation accuracy throughout. Since much of the narrative is presented from the perspective of a single character, the occurrence of grammatical errors in the book is minimal, if any, which contributes to its overall quality. The carefully chosen vocabulary immerses the reader in the narrator's world, while the deliberate breaks after dialogues and well-structured paragraphs serve as the backbone of this artistic creation. These elements work together seamlessly to enhance the reading experience and further showcase the writer's skill and attention to detail.

ꗃ﹕❜The Conflict and The Plot: 20/20

﹕❜The conflict of the story intertwines with its plot, centering around a heartbroken love story that resonates with readers as they journey through the concise yet impactful chapters. One of the highlights is the writer's expertly timed revelation in the sixth chapter, which dramatically alters the trajectory of the plot. The inclusion of a ghost in a romance novel presents a unique challenge, as the writer must navigate the delicate balance between the supernatural and the living world. However, in this love story, the protagonist's essence is masterfully captured, allowing readers to connect with their humanity on a profound level.

ꗃ﹕❜Pacing and The Execution:20/20

﹕❜The book being a short story embraces its pacing really well according to me. I really like the concept of the writer to convey their message in the form of short chapters which makes the pacing of the book nearly perfect. The writer’s attempt to paint a unique, idiosyncratic yet sad love story was well executed due to the use of perfect vocabulary on different occasions. Due to which I feel that the pacing and execution of the book were near perfect.

Arbitrary Points

1] The Author’s note:- It really tells us so much about the writer’s humble and giving personality, which is very essential for any artist of any form.

2] Word Count:- This is something very few writers do and is a very unique concept for a normal reader. I would suggest placing the word count at the beginning of the chapter for convenience, it's just a suggestion at the end of the day.
10/10

ꗃ﹕❜Overall:
﹕❜I highly recommend this book to anyone in search of a genuine portrayal of true love. One of its outstanding qualities is the healthy and non-toxic nature of the romantic relationship depicted within its pages. The dialogues given to Yuha in the final chapter serve to provide clarity and closure, leaving a lasting impact on readers. It is difficult to imagine many readers reaching the end of the seventh chapter without being moved to tears. Overall, this book is a remarkable piece of art that beautifully captures the essence of love. I highly enjoyed and really commend you for the Grammar and Vocabulary, Plot twist and the First Person POV that was executed perfectly!
