《Astral Reviews Vol. 2》Review 23- The Divinities of Navalok

Plot (10/10)
I really like to plot and what you have done with it. You have a unique plot for a wide array of audiences to view. It was good to see a unique idea in play.
Grammar (9/10)
There is a few minor errors here and there that I noticed but they are more errors I see untentionally. They don't still out much but I'm extremely sensitive to these kinds of things. I would just say through them through a system for missing punctuation.
Characters (10/10)
I see everything you need to have great chacters. I not only understand them but I see thier growth. They aren't just characters in a book but real people that you have brought to life. You have made dynamic characters for all to see.
Cover (9/10)
I like the cover overall. I would only suggest reducing the size of the badges you have. Your cover is amazing and you shouldn't let the awards you got take away from the main source of attention. The format is well done other than that.
Title (10/10)
For one, I can say nobody has the same title as you. Although you are using a mythology of a specific religion, I have yet to see many stories use Hindu mythology as a basis. It adds a new fresh flavor to the pot.
Detail (10/10)
The attention to detail is impeccable. I was able to feel the setting as if I was there. You invoke my senses with figurative language which is extremley important in the story's growth.
Originality (10/10)
I can honestly say although there is ideas of other stories at play, you have made something completely new. There is unique ideas that I haven't seen before and I looked forward to reading them. I was glad to see your story wasn't a generic one where everything was exactly guessed correctly.

Prologue/ Introduction(10/10)
There was a strong entrance into the book and it was done correctly. As a prologue or first chapter should encourage the reader to read more, you did that. I was able to continue reading and want to see more as it went on.
Writing Skills (10/10)
I can see the attention you payed to your writing. I see the sentence construction and diction is done very well. I can also say that your word choice for specific things is done well. The writing skills are amazing and if you can, add more figurative language. You want to have as much as you can because it brings the story to life more.
Overall story(10/10)
Sometimes when people introduce thier culture into a book, it doesn't quite turn out well. It's even worse when people write about other cultures and end up getting things wrong. The way you displayed everything in your writing was impeccable. I even looked up things so I could give the best possible review. I really liked the story overall.
Overall Score: 98 (A)

The Tower Trials
"The Towers have stood for centuries. They offer riches and power in equal measure to those that are brave, strong, and lucky enough to overcome their Trials. Isaac has arrived in time for the annual Novice Trial where young men and women aged 16 through 18 are set to enter the Tower for their first time. Novice Trials are a rite of passage, and though one is not required to take it, one cannot develop their Mana System without it. However, the trials are deadly, and there are always some that go in, but never come out. Regardless of the danger, Novice Trials are required for entry into any of the four grand academies. Those that survive the trials are able to gain experience and level-up as they ascend the different floors of the Towers." The Tower Trials is my first attempt at writing. Reviews and constructive criticism are highly encouraged and appreciated!
8 212The One Born from Stars
Death. The end to the story of a man’s pained journey. A journey of pain and suffering. Of sights no man should’ve seen or experienced. A life he wished to have taken no part of. But if he were given a chance to relive another life. Would he? Would he mould the future to what he sees fit? Or escape it’s grasp before it could do anymore harm to him or those he loves? What would he do? What will he do? Cover is found here and all credit goes to the origninal producer of the artwork: https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/847732329833010318/ Note: There is not set release schedule and there likely won't be one. There may be a month's between releases which are only 1000 ish words in size. So I highly reccomend coming back when there is a decent amount of reading material present. There is also no set plan for this fiction and it'll be used to release some stress, improve my writing, and to list down concept ideas possibly.
