《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!

Spirit Realm
Thirty thousand years ago, the Heaven Fighting Race who called themselves “Gods” invaded the Spirit Realm. Hundreds of races rose up in resistance, but ultimately suffered a crushing defeat. The Human Race was the first to concede, and the rest of the Hundred Races soon followed in succession. During the subsequent ten thousand years, all of the races were enslaved by the Heaven Fighting Race. They were cruelly treated, and lived beneath the shadow of terror. The Heaven Fighting Race’s march of conquest did not stop there. With the Spirit Realm as the starting point, they invaded other secret dimensions, and spread war to all corners of existence. After greatly exhausting their combat strength, they were finally defeated by the Hundred Races who took advantage of this opportunity. With no other choice, they fled to the starry skies outside the realm. Thirty thousand years later, in an era where the Heaven Fighting Race has already faded to become ancient legend, an amnesiac youth possessing the Heaven Fighting Race’s bloodline is being fostered in an insignificant household. Whilst struggling to live on, he silently awaits the day of the bloodline’s awakening.Thank you for reading novel Spirit Realm @ReadWebNovels.net

8 196Disciple.
I was there before Death was born. I was there when the Sea of Chaos formed. I was there when the first universe was born. I was there when life appeared for the first time. I was there at the dawn of time, and will be there for its twilight. Long story short I am old and powerful. I would be called an Eldritch Abomination by many among you. This however is not my story. This is the story of my favourite human, a man who managed to surpass my expectations until the day of his death. A man to whom I personally taught the deepest secrets of Creation. The story of my Disciple, born to a world within the Fayd. A man who was called many names. Godkiller, Guardian of the Gates of Death, My Left Hand, Destroyer, The End by his enemies. That Crazy Dude by his allies. I call him Sam-Sam, mainly to annoy him. But primarily, this is a story of a man doing his life right. With all my wisdom I can’t think of him living a better life than he did, given his circumstances. So gather round, for the story of my dear friend. Not a litrpg.

"He wasn't breathing.""But maybe he woke up after we left him down there.""Woke up?! His neck was broken."Jack hung his head. He couldn't make sense of this."I know how this is gonna sound, but..."
