A Bit About the Author:

 is an Alaskan resident who enjoys writing fantasy and angsty love stories. She is also a talented graphics designer. She is a Wattpad ambassador and was shortlisted in the Wattys2018. She is the queen of TheFaeFolk, an account dedicated to promoting fantasy. 

Title:

The title is very short and easy to remember. However, just glancing at it, while it does fill me with curiosity because it's very... Different, shall we say? It's a good title, but until the reader reads the book or the blurb, it literally makes no sense. (Though, to be honest, most books are  like that, I guess. XD)

Cover:

Okay, I'm bringing out the machine gun now. 

A.K.A. I'm going to be more frank than my friend Frank. 

(Yes, I have a very good friend by the name of Frank.)

Anyway, about that cover. 

Honestly, it looks very amateurish as far as graphics go. I know your skill, Hannah. And this is not your best work at all. It's probably my least favorite out of the covers for this book, no offense. Every other cover I liked, but not this one. For one thing, the subtitle is barely readable and so is the author's name. The cover in general looks like some kind of wannabe-fantasy-that-is-actually-teen-fic. Not to mention that the guy with the hood is terribly photo-maniped. I've seen better work from you and this is a definite no-no from me. 

Blurb: 

Um, first thing's first. Punctuation should ALWAYS be inside quotation marks. ALWAYS. There is maybe one exception, but it's rare. Please fix this glaring mistake. 

*puts machine gun away* 

It's a good blurb overall. Sets up a nice tension for the reader to get interested in your story and helps build a tiny taste of your world with the second paragraph. 

Last thought on this topic for now. I feel like it would have a really good dramatic flare or whatever if you split the last line into two sentences/paragraphs so the last line is something like:

"After all, sometimes to find the truth you have to turn back the clock." 

Or something along those lines. 

Moving on!

The Good: 

Excellent plot and story-line, I have to give you that. Some parts were a bit confusing to read at first, but once I actually turned my concentration cells on, it was not a problem. I like the drama build-up to the shock moment when Annaliese gets told what's really going on (sorry I'm not going into details because of... Spoilers) and I like the tension that you have building up throughout your story. Kudos for that. 

Character-wise, it's well done for the most part. (More on that later.) Your characters add depth to your story and I was able to keep them apart for the most part. There are some instances where it was hard to keep who was who in my mind, but that might have been because I'm not reading this all at once and the pause during updates makes me forget sometimes. XD 

Good job with grammar as well. Minus a few typos and mistakes here and there, it passes. ;) 

The Bad: 

(No worries, no machine guns.) 

Okay, just a few things here. 

Annaliese. Not sure if this was your intention, but she often came across as some kind of Mary-Sue in the beginning which kinda ticked me off. It's not "in-your-face" or anything, but if that's not what your going for, I'd encourage you to work on this. I might not be the only one who thought this. If it is your intention, kick me out of the room for my ignorance or whatever. 

World-building. This was good for the most part, but I would encourage you to do more. You have some great stuff going on and I'd like to see more of this world rather than what's just focusing on Annaliese and her troubles. Not to distract from the story-line or anything, but to help with depth and things like that. 

What the Reader Thought: 

I like this story--I really do. And I think with a bit more work, it could really shine. I really enjoy reading this genre of steampunk/dieselpunk stuff and your book is really fun to read. The tension and action-scenes are spot-on and I hope it gets turned into a movie or TV show someday--it'd be epic to watch. 

I wish you all the best with it and I can't wait for the next update! ^.^

Score: 9/10
