Hey, @SleepingRumble! Let's start your review in a specific order...

Cover: The cover looks like a psychedelic image in a way, especially with the placement of the title and the font styles used. It looks simple but has to be one of the most creative covers I've come across. For this, you get 1/1.

Title: Interesting, unique and creative. Some use of higher order vocabulary would have been nice, but you go for simplicity and mystery which is equally good. For this, you get 0.95/1.

Description: Short, on point and very suspense causing. The use of the word "One is" looks a bit too much in the first line. Maybe you could write it in a more artistic way to make it shorter. The description doesn't really give an idea of what your plot is, but the idea in itself is so intriguing that you don't need details of the plot here. The last line has a few punctuations missing, and personally, I like your new title better! For this, you get 0.9/1.

Beginning: Something I noticed: You might wanna change the name of the book in the author's note, seems like you missed it. A word of advise - a prologue is supposed to be a short glimpse of what one can expect in the book. You made a whole chapter out of it which could get a bit boring regardless of having written it nicely or not. Once the story starts, I love the way you describe surroundings and I love the train of thoughts that each of your characters gets on. One thing I'd like you to add is character detailing. You describe the settings so well it's easy to visualize it. But the centre of the setting is your character. If I cannot visualize them, if I depend on my head to cook up random images of how the character looks like, then what's the point? You go into ample depth in what the characters think, but what about how they behave? How they walk in front of people, how they speak/eat or go about doing their daily activities? You don't need to mention all the things, but if you mention some they could be useful insights into the character. You also need some minor spellcheck and editing. The spelling are correct at some places but the forms of those words are incorrect, so you'll have to carefully scrutinize them rather than depending on some spellcheck/grammar check application such as Grammarly or MS Word if you do. For example a word in the very first chapter "fragrant" is supposed to be "fragrance". The plot is quite intriguing and apart from said things, I think you will just improve with time as you read and write more and more. One advise since this is your first book - re-read your work every now and then. You will realize that there were some mistakes you overlooked, some flaws that you couldn't find before or simply a better word or sentence formation you could've used for a particular instance. That will help you constanty evolve as a writer. All in all a very good book. For this you get 1.9/2. Kudos!

Your total score is: 4.75/5. Great score. Oh and for what it's worth, I think your characters are good people who can be really bad if they want ;)
