Title: This Realm of Sinners
Author: NuminousAuthor
Genre/Subgenre: Fantasy

Blurb:

One relic,
Seven pieces,
And a country doomed to fail.

•

When Mercury, a slave-turned-mercenary is hired by an inimical warrior to help gather the pieces of a mythical staff, his only goal are the infamous jewels she offers in return and a desire to steal the relic for himself when it is assembled.

However, each trial to find a piece is more dangerous than the last, and when bounties are placed on their heads, - to be captured dead or alive - trust is no longer an option, it is a necessity.

In this journey of betrayals, undead monsters and cutthroat deals, Mercury is sure of one thing and one thing alone.

Nothing will ever be the same again.

Review:

Title: 5/5
I personally like this title. It draws the eye, it isn't too long, and it doesn't give the plot away.

Cover: 3.5/5
The cover is nice. The text was a little hard to read when I pulled it up on my phone or tablet, though.

Blurb: 5/5
Your blurb was very well done. It gave me three small tid-bits to hook me in and then let me know what to expect within the story. It got me excited to read the story.

Spelling, Punctuation, Grammar, and Vocabulary: 11/15
The grammar and spelling were good, I didn't notice any errors. I did notice some punctuation errors throughout the book. Mainly commas in place of periods and capitalization after a period. I also noticed a few run-on sentences.

World-building and Descriptions: 10/10
The world you have built is interesting. I am looking forward to reading more about it. Your descriptions are lovely and help me envision the areas.

Character Development: 20/20
Character development was good, though I am wanting to see more as the chapters progress. You have a great start to these characters and a lot to build on.

Plot Development/Pacing/Chapter Structure: 19\20
The plot is very well done. I usually loop this with originality as well, but I haven't read a story that has done anything quite like this before, so that is refreshing. The only reason I deducted a point in this one is because the chapters were a bit long, which isn't always a bad thing. It is just hard to find a stopping point when I need to put my phone down.

Originality: 10/10
Like I said above, I haven't read anything like this before. It is very original.

Enjoyment/Hook: 10/10
I really did enjoy the reading experience of this story. The hook is very nice. I really like the paragraph at the first of each chapter giving us some info about the world. That really hooked me in as well.

Total: 93.5/100

Overall Impressions: I enjoyed the story. It has a great hook and it builds your world and characters well. I also like the graphics you have at the end of the chapters, they are beautiful. Your fight scenes are very strong and I hope to see more of them in future chapters!
