Dragon Born: Book Review

Written by -
Welcome to a world filled with demons and dragons. Where nothing is ever as it seems and trust is a fools luxury. Do you think our world is unconnected? Are you so naive to think that you are alone and that no one is watching?

In this world, there is a darkness, a deep and unrelenting cruelty that can only be solved by those that choose to move beyond it. This is no paltry romance. This is not the story of betrothal or rebellious love. This is a story far more real and far more unforgiving.

This is the story of people. Real people who will face the unthinkable, and endure the unforgivable. They will do it all to save people they do not know, for a cause and a war they do not fully understand. Too long has Scelestra, the queen of nightmares, been permitted to unleash her cruelty on this defenseless world.

Nothing in this Tendaara is insignificant, nothing is unplanned, everything has a purpose that brings darkness or light. It has been 150 years since Eleanor died. 150 years where our heroes have been patient and waiting. Waiting for a girl who does not even know who she is. Waiting for a girl who is trapped in her own nightmare. A girl that must save herself to save the world.

COVER
10/10
Your cover looks very professional and could almost be a graphic for a real life published book (: It shows what the story is all about and it's not too flashy or plain as well. Good job.


GRAMMAR, PUNCTUATION, ETC.
9/10

Like I had pointed out, there was a spelling error in your description. Your writing style looks amazing, but I think you had just overdone the length of your chapters. This is Wattpad, so chapters should usually be kept short (but then again, you're the writer and I respect your decisions). I also noticed a part in the first chapter where you weren't able to properly capitalize one of your sentences, so makybe you could check on that. But overall, these are easy fixes.


CHARACTERS
9/10

I like how unique the names of the characters are; Baellnar, Alyenna, Skendirii. I just advise you to be careful with too unique names, because as much as readers will love it, some people may have confusion trying to remember it.


PLOT
18/20

I love how you wrote your plot and your use of words to paint a vivid picture in the readers' heads. There is just one little mistake in your synopsis. It reads 'Where nothing is ever as it seems and trust is a fools luxury.' Fools should be spelled as fool's. 

I can see your effort in creating this fictional world where everything almost seems real. Good job.


WRITING STYLE
27/30

Your writing style and imagery is nothing but beautiful, but I again, I just think the chapters are kinda long. This is just my opinion though, and it doesn't really affect my opinion of your story.

I also want to point out some of you writings, since they deserve to be noticed.

Baellnar watched, as he always did. The hope in his eyes was polluted by sadness. In front of him was a swirling glass mirage. Inside it was her image trapped within a crystalline-barrier that would evaporate in the next few moments. He and Aagi could finally remove her from the isolated kingdom of Earth and bring her home.

Wow. That's just the prologue, but anyone can already see how much of a great author you are.


OVERALL THOUGHTS

Your story is going strong and I hope even more people are touched by your amazing words. I wish you the best of luck!

Graphic Shoppe

I was a crappy writer. Let's face it. The past was a cobblestoned road of mistakes and errors, and truthfully, I am still  a crappy writer. But writing's my dream and my happiness, so why in the world would I stop doing it?  Those were the shuffling rackets of thoughts encompassing my brain when I decided to open Graphic Shoppe .  I wanted to write, not to design, but I couldn't hide the significant part of my heart that had the admiration for decorating. It was another risk. Another jump I'd have to take in order to be where I wanted to be.  So you can guess what I did. I went for it. I ramsacked Pinterest, while downloading all of the most stylish fonts dafont.com had to offer. Designing apps invaded the space of my mobile phone, while I would bury my head in beneath my palms to ask if I would push through. What if I don't succeed? If people don't read what I write, what's the use of a graphic shoppe?  But those wh

Originaljaime : The Interview

Written by -
Winning first place in The Stellar Awards 2018 (Teen Fiction Category), here I present to you an interview with another one of the most talented authors on Wattpad -- Originaljaime . 1. Why do you write?  To escape reality and live all the lives of my characters. I write, because when writing, it doesn't feel like an obligation but rather something that feels natural. 2. How long have you been writing? I always loved reading, but the knack of writing started since I was 13 years old.  3. Do you believe in Writer's Block? If so, how do you deal with this?  Yes, I believe that Writer's Block is certainly real. I would take a short sabbatical from writing, by going out, getting a change of scenery, I would watch movies of my writing genre, listen to music and watched YouTube videos of what helped other writers. 4. What is your favourite book outside of wattpad? Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. 5. When was the first time you started writing?

Utterly Impossible

I used to read about love -- lie awake every two a.m and earnestly open my Wattpad account to read the cheesiest, most clichè stories of all time. Under the covers and tucked away in the dark, I would be absorbed in a safe bubble I call my own. I would squeak and squeal and explain to myself how female protagonists were such oblivious people to the point it felt unreal. Bad boys became such a common sort of persona for me, as they slowly fell for the nerds. I read a story once, called The Good Girl's Bad Boy. It was about a girl named Tessie, who falls in love with her childhood bully, Cole Stone. The author's heart wrenching lines were able to pinch my heart in its hungover two am state. It was there that I realized it. Love, will be nothing compared to the most detailed of stories, and most realistic characters when the right time comes. You'll hate the boys at first, despise them, and curse the male hormone called testosterone. And when you become seventeen or eightee
