《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'ABILITY' by Eddy622
Advertisement
'ABILITY' is about Kenzie Black, who moves to the quiet Bridge Town with her mother. However, the ghost of a Gray Norman already lives in their house. Kenzie has the ability to see ghosts. Gray Norman isn't a real ghost, though; he was cursed by a witch because he was a cruel son of a bitch, and his soul was merely removed from his body. There's a chance for him to survive… if Kenzie helps him.
I thought the plot looked very promising. It was original, especially the thing with the witch. However, I feel like the story had a lot of untapped potential. For example, why is there a witch? It's left unexplained, so it's kind of a plot hole. And what happened to Austin? Kenzie forgot about him rather quickly. I think that might need some resolve too. The plot is interesting, but not executed as well as it deserves.
Second of all, I thought the characters could use some more development. It felt like there wasn't much personality to them aside from some set personality traits. I didn't really care much about them or what they did, so I'd like to see more 'real person' in them.
The GPS is, uh, not to write home about. Picture severe punctuation issues and grammar mistakes that put LOTR's Gollum to shame. However, it does say that the story's unedited. I'd recommend editing in the future, though.
I'd also like to recommens taking more time to set a scene. I saw very few actual descriptions to set a scene, and I felt the story felt rather rushed. A scene started and was over in the blink of an eye; I barely had time to really get into it.
Rating: 4.5. Has potential, but is in need of some major editing.

The Hopeful Project
A pair of twins stumble their way into the world of blood magic, lizard people, and cultivation powered mecha-armor. And by stumble, I mean one of them falls on their face while the other laughs. [Writathon Participant] People read this far? What are you doing down here? Escape! The chapter buttons are over there, stop reading this. No? Fine. This book is an excuse to put a world I spent around 3-4 months of my life building over the pandemic into writing. I was planning on doing the writathon last year, but somehow managed to confuse October and November. Dont laugh, I'm already ashamed enough. This book is about a pair of twins, doing twin things: calling each other names, going to school, learning how to use their blood to become unstoppable, juggernaut, killing machines... You know, twin stuff. It's like if someone stuffed a school arc inside of a tournament arc inside of a war arc. A good time, basically. I hope you enjoy it.
