《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'The Moon's Pawn' by ladypaperback
Advertisement
The last story I'll be reviewing in this book is called 'The Moon's Pawn'. The story follows the cursed werewolf alpha Veronica through her endeavours, navigating werewolf politics and drama reminiscent of a game of chess.
I'll admit the whole setting and plot didn't impress me much at first; the werewolves and their societies didn't stand out as much as I wanted them to. It's hard, writing a werewolf story on a website full of those. But even if the plot hasn't surprised me too much so far, that doesn't mean it's of bad quality or not entertaining.
While it may not earn all originality points, the plot developments did keep me on my toes, especially in the beginning. The world set up here is intriguing and so is our lead Veronica. The rest of the cast is likable and feels fully fleshed-out, with characters strong enough to carry the story!
The GPS and writing itself were clean for the most part. Maybe remove some spelling mistakes from chapters marked unedited and you'll be pretty solid.
One thing to keep in mind: while using images throughout your chapters can enrich the story to certain readers, it can also have the opposite effect and pull readers out of the story. It's partially personal preferences, but images can be tricky; if you want to be very sure you're not accidentally losing readers over it, use them sparingly.
A short review, but see it like this: The less I have to say, the better the job you did!
Rating: 8!

Techno-Heretic
Eli is an ancient man sentenced to death for the crime of surpassing the sacred number of 32.8, which is the allowed percentage of increased mental ability from the use of AI chips. As he journeys through death and into a world of fantasy and magic, he finds himself approaching never before seen heights of magical power and ability. Powers that will shape the world and would see him go down in legends for generations ever after. But just because someone acquires magical abilities, that doesn't mean magic is suddenly the most important thing in their life. Some people aren't looking to be all-powerful gods, have the world bow at their feet, or spend their days obsessing over accumulating ever more power. Some people just want acceptance, stability, and the warmth of their loved ones to drive away the cold loneliness of the night. And in a world where magic is the bedrock of society, where magic is what determines who is preferred for siring children, where people with high magical ability are destined to live in great luxury and those without magic simply live to make due, this difference in values and perspective could not have a starker contrast. As Eli and the people around him navigate the misconceptions and deceptions of this world, he will represent a great and magnificent future for the human race. One where humanity will stand above the elves, dwarves, orcs, fairies, and all the horrors of the world. Sadly, men's tools are as fallible as the people who make them, and in a society where the potential of an individual is determined solely through their magical level, this seed of promise may yet turn venomous.
