My next review is a novel by @littleasian1998 named "Beyond Words- Jacob's Diaries" !

Cover:

I like the brightness of the cover. I see the various colours as a representation of Jacob's mixed feelings towards the various situations he has to go through. If that's the message you're attempting to convey, then great job!

Blurb:

The blurb is inviting. I like how you begin with a quote from the story ( I'm yet to see it in the book though).

The blurb gives enough information about the main character and the novel as a whole. Its content has a relatable edge which should definitely appeal to readers within the characters' age bracket.

I do have one problem, however, and it's with the questions at the ending. I feel the fact that the first parts of the blurb have revealed enough about the story already so the questions should be limited. Most of the time, questions in the writer's blurb are in line with the reader's expectations so the needed suspense and anticipation fizzles out quickly.

If questions are to be asked, it should be from only one angle so that the reader will be caught off guard with an answer to a question he should've been asking. For example, you ask, "What would he choose? Or does he even have a choice?"

The second part shouldn't be present there so that the reader keeps believing Jacob has to choose between certain things, until he's shocked into the possibility of Jacob not having a choice after all.

Plot:

The plot brings to light the central idea of the book. I find out more about Jacob and his thoughts and feelings. I do feel, however, that there should be more cliffhangers. So far there's only been one evident one, when Jacob has to inform his parents of his examination results. Most chapters should be made in a way that would always make the reader be full of anticipation.

I also want to add the Author's notes in the middle of the story interrupts its flow. Maybe you can put it at the ending instead.

Characters:

Jacob doesn't hold back. I get to know about his nature, family and friends through his thoughts and some dialogue. Sanika is also revealed mainly through dialogue and the knowledge of Jacob and the people close to him.

Grammar:

There are some typographical and grammatical errors which I'm sure can be corrected by thorough editing.

Firstly, in the title, it's supposed be "Jacob's Diaries" instead. You also use "scenario" instead of "scene" in the prologue. You use this sign "-" instead of quotes at the end of Sanika's speech at some point.

Also, the part about the birds "shitting"... honestly and respectfully, it's vulgar and unnecessary. It doesn't create a pleasant imagery.

But no major problems here!

Generally:

Your book is extremely promising! If you apply the necessary tweaks, I see it reaching its true potential!

Thanks so much for requesting!

Please check out "Beyond Words - Jacob Diaries" by @littleasian1998!

Have a wonderful day and I'm going to work on the other requests as soon as I can! Thank you for your support 😊.
