REVIEW 1 - INDELIBLE EVOCATION
Written by: CeciliaMohandas
Reviewer: Victory_in_Winters13
Title: (10/10)
Your title was quite exquisite and very apt for the book you have written based on what I could gather from the blurb and the story. Usually,whenever the title of the book was given, no one really explains it that why would the title be apt from the story from the very beginning which was truly something I loved to know. Indelible means unforgettable and evocation means memories which roughly says Unforgettable Memories. Great title explanation as well.
Cover: (7/10)
I liked your cover but it felt like you were kind of telling memories spent in romance rather than maintaining what happened in that romance. Although the title and the blurb were beautiful but the cover was like you still plan to make a man like Chris fall in the same feeling twice. I felt you could have made it like a person who was broken and looks at the sky while the girl comes and sits by his side showing the action of telling a secret instead of going through a bold move. That might have increased popularity but in a way I see it as a deceptive one that you hope the protagonist to fall in love with a girl. That kind of did not exactly matched the title of the story.
Sensory detail: (10/10)
Your sensory detail was actually wonderful. The way you managed to pull the description of the house and the surroundings was well thrown to the readers. I liked it and also how you went deep to connect with Chris' feelings is something I should say was truly something people have felt. You managed to not only cature one sense,but the readers were actually able to understand the protagonist in a detailed manner.
Blurb: (9.5/10)
Your blurb was enigmatic when I saw the first lines of the book but all those mysterious atmosphere you created had disappeared the moment you added a kind of cliched one like how Chris' life was damaged due to a girl but again you maintained it showing us that what would possibly happen after Amora left his life. While reading a blurb,the atmosphere what you really planned to make must be maintained thoroughly in the story so that the reader can have an interesting view on it.
Setting: (10/10)
The moment I learnt what kind of setting the story was set, as I read through your book, I could literally picture everything. You included apt words and that is something I truly loved abut your book. You also mentioned a bit into how the surroundings were which was actually perfect. The way you explained how was the protagonist's uncle's house and the required surroundings was up to the mark. There was no need of confusions as everything was crystal clear to me and to be honest, this setting was really unlike other settings I have seen before.
Character development: (7/10)
You planned to bring in character development in the story which I should say, I could not see much because lack of updates resulted in that. It was also seen that you could not really involve Amora's involvement in his life which does disappoint me to a further extent. I feel that you should update the story so that a fair idea comes what will happen next in the story. However,the poems you gave literally gave a glimpse of how was Chris' life which I must applaud you for that.
Plot: (11.5/15)
When I read from the prologue, I felt that you just managed to bring in the plot which was quite the beginning but you didn't manage to bring in the mood of what could have happened next. I feel that unlike the blurb which was a beautiful one, I feel that you were not able to express that because you are bringing things like what happened to Chris in his childhood and what relevance was it to the chapter:Forlorn. I felt that you could have moved on and explored more of Chris' side of the story. Although I must appreciate you for bringing in a good plot which also showed that what really happens in a man's world when he thinks life is impossible.
Grammar: (8/10)
As far as I read your book, there were a few punctuation mistakes along with few irrelavent words which could be easily manipulated, especially in the poem section. However, there were no spelling mistakes which is something not every person can accomplish. Good job!!!
Overall impression: (13/15)
The plot which you managed to choose was something not really many people manage to do that but I must say, you did a fantastic job here. I was happy to see that unlike novels which choose common words to describe and sentence formation as well, you went in for a bold outlook which seems to be rarely appreciated and it truly is an art. I do suggest you should update more so that the story is more going towards the blurb and really, I cannot wait for more of your soulful poems to come in life. I realise that the poems can be very stressful, I suggest that you should still manage to update the story and when some poem bumps in your mind, you should sit down calmly, take a pen and paper and note down what comes and later you can shuffle the contents to bring in a beautiful story. This is something I can tell you from my personal experience and I am sure that you won't regret it although it might take time.
Marks achieved: (86/100)
Reviewers' note:
HATS OFF TO YOU TO PULL TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS TOGETHER!!! 👏👏👏
You managed to squeeze from poems to stories which is totally unlike any other book I have seen till date. Sure, I have seen a few extracts of poems pulled in stories but the writing style you adopted LITERALLY SCREAMED ORIGINALITY. I loved how you managed to blend both the worlds of poetry in your story and oh my!!!!How deep were their meanings!!!! It literally blew my head when I read your story with the poems. This type of writing is usually discouraged because not really every person can do that but YOU,you did a MARVELLOUS job here. I actually advise you to update more so that the readers could understand what happens next. Although I would adhere to the criteria given to me in the book,the way you wrote the story was something I couldn't help but notice that but truly I must say you were a natural here, so I thought of giving this as an extra bonus.
All I am left to say is that continue the way you write although you might trail on a dangerous path here but don't give up. Do update when you find time because you haven't shown what exactly happened in Chris' life to promote hatred towards life and Amora and what happens after that. Usually I would get an idea what could possibly happen in the story, but in yours I have a very faint clue which is not well solidified due to lack of information. Please do not be upset by the score because I felt it truly deserved a 100 but lack of information and flawless grammar with some aesthetic issues to the cover led to a downfall. I would leave on an optimistic,semi-humorous and a realistic note that I have a good feeling that once it is completed, I truly would need to eat back my words but my review is currently for the work presented to me now and I felt this was needed to be improved.
