Hey, NovaEraKitty Let's start your review in a specific order...

Cover: I can see dragons and mystical creatures - typical Fantasy stuff. However, nothing about your cover screams out to me to pick up the book and read it. The title is as confusing as the font colour of your username. Looks cliche and could be more professional, but this would do, too. For this, you get 0.45/1.

Title: Cepheus - as far as I know is the name of a constellation. Makes me think your book is related to or features celestial aspects. If that is the case, your cover throws me off even more here. Some relevance or connection between the cover and title would better attract readers, I feel. It's a unique title, though, so for this, you get 0.75/1.

Description: The first line tells me Cepheus Prime is the location of your story. But what is it according to this story - a planet? Just a place on Earth with a mysterious name? Well, I'm curious, that's nice! I am in two minds regarding your protagonist's name. It's complicated and hard to read, but given the genre and setting of your book, I'm inclined to think you tried hard to come up with an out of the box name. However, when I further read your description I don't have the urge to pick up and read your book at all. It's lacking in plot details, rough character sketch/introduction and mystery. You need at least two of these 3 things to pique the interest of your readers. So far nothing from the description screams unique or curiosity-inducing to me. Aliens and weird names are a constant feature of Fantasy books and you cannot expect the description to work solely on the basis of that. The language used could also be a bit more on the stronger/more technical side. What I like is you mention the time of updates, that shows you're serious and follow deadlines to deliver for your readers. For this, you get 0.35/1.

Beginning: The way you've come up with all the names, it gets really complex at times to keep track. Full marks on the creative front, though. Your way of writing could use a little modification and editing. At some places, the grammar looks off and the story doesn't really seem as sophisticated as it should. What I would have liked you to add is some feeling to your writing. Sometimes the characters lack these feelings, like a simple sigh or speaking hurriedly in a sense of excitement. What I love about the book is the way you describe everything around the characters. It's really important to create an alter-universe and be able to make the reader understand your vision of that AU. I think you have done it magnificently well. The grammar could use minor editing, but I wouldn't be too concerned about it. The plot is well paced, unique and well thought of so far. There's a sense of realism in the way the characters behave, which is crucial for proper plot development. All in all a good book with minor improvements needed in your style of writing that looks too stretched and casual at times. For this, you get 1.65/2.

Your total score is 3.2/5.
