Book name: The Aftermath
Written by: amlode
Genre: Sci-fi
Judged by: dumbwater
Cover: The cover is a little plain. It is just the book title on a picture of a couple of trees. The quote is good but it is not enough to grab a reader's attention.
Rating- 0.65/1
Title: The title 'The Aftermath' gives us a base idea that this book is set in a post-apocalyptic world. It is good.
Rating- 0.9/1
Description: The description is alright. It kind of sounds similar to most of the young adult dystopian books as they have the same description. It could be worked upon. Also about the last line, it says that 'This is the aftermath' but it would help to know what the aftermath was caused due to.
Rating- 0.8/1
Beginning: The prologue starts out pretty well. It gives us a good idea of the setting and tells us about the world our character lives in. The author is very good with imagery. I was able to feel the breeze and imagine the field in front of me. The main character is quite strong thus, making her likeable.
Rating- 0.9/1
Plot: I felt that the plot was a little too common. Most of the YA dystopian books have the same plot. The strong female character whose stuck in a love triangle with her best friend and another guy is very commonly seen in other books. This could bore the reader. You should work on that. The plot is developing quite slowly too. Maybe move it forward from raids to a few plot twists?
The writing style is quite good. I found no mistakes in the grammar so far.
