《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'E V E R M O R E' by midnightskies-

E V E R M O R E, or Evermore, as I'm going to be calling it, features a world in which women are viewed mostly as possessions. By that I mean it's like this world, but more obvious. Fathers sell their daughters to the highest bidder, who will then become said daughter's husband. Talia isn't really feeling up to it, but then someone offers her a way to freedom: she has to poison the king.
With five chapters, the story is still introducing its world, characters, and concepts. We haven't seen everything the plot promises yet, but the plot does sound promising and interesting enough. It's enough to keep me interested for the rest.
The characters and such are, like I said, still being introduced. They aren't fully developed yet, it appears to me, but I expect this to be fixed in later chapters; give it time and all will be well.
The GPS is messy, to say the least. The punctuation especially isn't always spot-on, which distracts me and most likely other users too from the story. I've also seen other mistakes, like using 'i' and 'Im' instead of 'I' and 'I'm', and also the misuse of 'your' and 'you're'. This is something to edit and pay attention to, as the story will be a lot easier to read when this is fixed.
The story needs editing, but in terms of plot, I'd like to see more.

Web of Isolation
Dane Kain: he was, on the whole, very uninvolved with life. He never had any particularly lingering attachments to life and tended to let himself be carried away by the flow of things, a fact that would become very important after his sudden death when he awoke as something completely alien. Using some half remembered fun facts from his passing obsessions in life as well as a penchant for making things work that simply shouldn't, hopefully Dane will stand a chance as the creation he has now become.

Unless the tale isn't fiction.It is said that every generation, fate bestows its imprint into the blood of two vessels replenished with new life, still innocent of the world.

His sovereignty was one seized by travail force. His victims were slaughtered to their grave, never to be spoken of again.

Chosen for an Emperor, whose very name renders shivers down one's spine and who's sinful deeds haunt the empire's dreams. She has no choice.
