As a fellow fantasy writer, I can appreciate the care and attention that has been given to both the plot and the characters within. The dialogue is great, but most intriguing are the snapshots of brilliant description that draw me in. Compared to most other stories on here which have grammatical errors galore, this is a breezy read that does not require as much mental acrobatics to put together a picture. Bravo!
I really really really could not stress enough how good the sentences are from the story. The author fills the novel with metaphor and similies that greatly links with the dialogues. It kept me reading and wondering about the sentences one after the other! Good job, mate! It is a nice read, and I cant wait to read more of it!
Great job for the author that could immerse the readers right away. The first chapter could let you say,"Okay,what's next? I want to read more". The author's narration is enough for you to get immersed with the story, reading the rest of the chapters. The synopsis could instantly hooked you in. Give this book a read!
Great plot and excellent thought! Since I love fantasy, I liked it very much. Your sentence structure was great and story was easy to understand. Keep it up author! Your future is brightening!
Excellent diction and interesting sentence structure make this an intriguing read if you're into the fantasy genre. Being drawn into the author's world is quite a talent as I was able to visualize many of the things that were going on, scene for scene. However, it was hard for me to keep reading (and lead me to re-read passages) as I sometimes got confused as to who was talking. There was dialogue, but not enough action to convey or help me understand why they said what they said. Based on your reading, you've probably heard of "Show, Don't Tell," but maybe just a bit more showing for your readers to understand what your characters are trying to convey. Let your readers decipher who's talking based on the actions they take, Other than that, this was an awesome read! Can't wait for more!
I jumped into this with no expectations, and was greatly surprised honestly. It's a very intriguing start for the story, and I'm more than curious to read what happens next. Honestly, AMAZING job!!
I have only read the first few chapters, but I am hooked. The story's writing quality as well as its development is top-notch. Honestly, the author's writing style is unique and amazing. The characters have also also intrigued me. The world-building is also going great so far. Overall, it is engaging and highly recommended.

[After reading Chapter 8] Aside from the story and character design, what I really like about this novel is the diction. The choice of words. It's as if there are colors in the words used. They are rich and flavorful. Keep on writing, Author. Your novel will go a long way! :3
I've read all five chapters and it intrigued me what happens next? The writing style is well written. Very promising characters. The chapters are not too long which I liked the most. I liked how the author created the concept. Definitely recommended it for reading. Great work, Author!
Really enjoyed it so far. Started reading and couldn't stop until I came to the last chapter. The worldbuilding so far has been on target and I love the little tidbits here and there, especially the ending of chapter five. The characters are enjoyable. I'm ready to learn more about the main character. The hints of his past that have been put out so far have easily pulled me in to like him. Keep up the good work!
I've read all five chapters, and i have several compliments to give to the talented author. First of all: i LOVE the length of the chapters - they are the perfect length, not too short, and not too long. Second: i love the authors writing skills, it is clear that we are dealing with someone who was born with a pen in their hands. Third: i love the idea of the story, and the whole setting. It's not my typical pick for an novel, but to be honest, it wasn't even on my mind, as i read it, because it was so well-written. Congrats, you just got yourself a new fan :) <3
Five chapters down and I can tell you one thing right now. This is going to be a classic. Love the unique feel to this. Everything from the fictional setting to the diverse cast of characters and proper dialogue give this work a distinct flavor of its own which is very enjoyable. The writing quality is top-tier for Webnovel. The first chapter left me wondering exactly what kind of story this was going to be, but once the bloodshed started and story kicked into high gear and had me eagerly devouring the pages. I only wish there was more as I am eager to see where the story goes from here. Great characters with their own personalities and quirks and terrific world building from an author with a very vivid imagination and a talent for lively creative writing. I strongly recommend adding this one to your library. It's too good not to follow!
Awesome, intriguing, interesting, captivating, it has me hooked right from the first chapter. Can't wait to see how the story unfolds in the future. Already waiting for new chapters, the author should release them as fast as possible to satisfy the craving of readers. I definitely recommend this novel to everyone , give it a shot....worth your time .
This novel was unique! I am very happy to read it myself. Such a gem that was buried in these piles and piles of novels. I can surely see its success in the future and I hope that it will reach a million views in a year. Kudos and good luck! ✌️
There aren't a lot of chapters so I can't really decide too much yet (if it's ever needed, I'll be glad to reread and redo the review). The only thing that struck me as kind of weird was how everyone talked with perfect clarity? It was like... they were all super duper drunk and talking without any nervousness, just pure lucidity (i think it's lucidity) and I mean works well enough. They talk in a really oldish sounding way which is really cool in my opinion, and so OvO. Some people said that the pace was slow, but I'd say that the pace was alright, but only because there really isn't a lot of chapters and it was written well enough that what was happening wasn't clear with three chapters (some stories go fast enough that it's somewhat obvious what's going to happen). I would, however, make some sort of index for the names of the cities and places and stuff because (for people with horrible memory, like me) it might get confusing especially if the names are as long as Loranisburg. Or maybe it's just me who thinks that. I really like how the writing was sort of click click click writing, and it sounded more like halfway between a poem and a story - which is awesome. I would just be careful not to overdo that part because while it sounds absolutely awesome and gives a really vivid picture, it can also ruin a novel with too much. Similar to what happens when there are too many metaphors in one paragraph. It's really cool and I'm saving it (I remember OvOOOO). If anything changes or if there's anything else that I've noticed, I'll definitely write another review for it.
The story is a little slow, and the descriptions are somewhat lacking, BUT, for a first novel this is great! The writing is amazing with almost no errors, and it's fluent and smooth to read. The story does feel slow, but with some tweaking could be really good. I'm excited to see this author grow. Good luck! [img=recommend]
Shameless Author Shilling, please don't mind me. Down to review others. Now, how do I make 140 characters....................................
I've reread it and I like it more now. Anyways, I can see this story getting interesting. This is quite the slow burn, and I'm down for it.
Bravo author! You have me hooked! I absolutely adore how meticulous and precise each scene was, with detailed description, metaphors, and a good expression of the characters emotions. I am enjoying the concepts for this book a lot, how everything seems to be filled with a sense of foreboding, and how well the story unravels as you progress. The dialogue is varied and dynamic, and overall I had a great time reading this!
